We are looking for a house sitter who can take care of our 2 acres while we visit my sister in italy and daughter in London. Very little required, some gardening, check on the pool, water some pot plants and just keep a check on things. We live in a spacious ranch style house in a rural setting 10 minutes by car from Bathurst, where you will find a good cinema, theatre, restaurants. Bathurst is just an hour or so from the attractions of the blue mountains, and within easy reach for a weekend in sydney (good bus and train connections or by car). You wont be tied down as our pets have "passed on", but we feel more comfortable having somebody living in to look after things in general.
