We are a semiretired couple who live on 3.5 acres on the bank of the Mary River in Maryborough, Qld. Maryborough was one of the first townships settled by white men and consequently has a very interesting history, with lots of charming heritage listed homes and buildings.
It is part of the Fraser Coast and is a 20 minute drive to Hervey Bay which is the departure point for a trip to Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world.
Our home is a low blocked Colonial style built in the 19th century. We have recently renovated so we have a great deck with a spa pool for entertaining which opens off from a new kitchen and dining room via multifold doors. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, second dining room, large lounge room and verandahs across the front and 2 sides.
We are looking for someone or a couple to house sit for us from the last week in April to around the 10th of June. There is plenty of room for a van or motorhome if preferred.
Our requirements are some light gardening and looking after and walking our four year old family dog, a Border Collie who is an outside dog except when there is a thunder storm.
