Hi, my name is Jessie and my partner's name is Kelvin, and we are looking for housesitters to cover the period until whilst we go on holiday.
We live in an area called Eppalock which is about 20 minutes drive from Bendigo Vic. Lake Eppalock is about 20 minutes drive in the other direction! It is a very popular boating area e.g water skiing, fishing etc.
Bendigo itself is a lovely country town with all the benefits of a major rural area without the hassles of a large city. We have an excellent theatre which puts on world class shows, an art gallery which has wonderful displays, great pubs and restaurants and, if anyone hankers for the bright lights, there is a good train service to Melbourne.
We have 2 dogs (a black kelpie called Vic and a long legged Jack Russell called Tassie), 4 cats (Charlotte, Leonard, Matilda and Moray - who, being cats, rule the roost!), 3 chooks, 1 rooster, 3 guinea fowl and an aviary of mixed parrots, budgies, finches etc. Still aiming for the partridge in a pear tree some day!
We are going down to Tasmania to visit friends, will be home a couple of days in the term then we go to Sydney ready for a cruise round Fiji, Noumea etc.
we would love for you to come and look after our furry and feathered friends!
looking forward to hearing from you
Cheers
Jessie and Kelvin
