We are a 'young' retired couple in our early-seventies. Steve retired from Defence after 35 years service, and Diana is a retired Executive Assistant.

We are fully Covid vaccinated and boostered (April 2022).

We are keen photographers and love the bush. We love to travel and explore all areas of Australia throughout the year now that we no longer have children or pets at home.

We were active volunteers at the local information centre for five years, assisting other interesting travellers with local, State, and Interstate information. We also undertake volunteer caretaking duties at a Queensland National Park for five or six weeks every year. We were involved with both volunteer programs between 2009 and 2022.

Our six children have grown and flown the coup and it is now "our time" to enjoy life to the full.

We have lived on, and maintained our acre of land since 2000. Steve is an "ex" farm boy and very capable of completing handyman jobs around the home and garden. Our own 4-bedroom home has an inground saltwater pool, so pool maintenance is no problem. We are pet-friendly and have enjoyed the company of both small and large dogs as well as cats, chooks, and ducks on previous house sits.

Kuranda, Qld - aviaries, cockatoo, inground pool, rainforest property - 6 weeks

“ We are very grateful to Diana and Steve for looking after all of our birds for us while we were on holiday ”

Sit Dates Nov-1-22 - Dec-5-22 Homeowner Suzzan996, Member Since Aug-14-14

Location Kuranda/Cairns QLD Australia

The birds appeared to be very happy and well fed when we arrived home.  We were delayed by a day and Diana and Steve kindly stayed a day longer even though it put them out to get home to a Doctor's appointment.

The house inside was clean and the house front immaculately tidy, but the wild bird droppings needed to be better controlled as they can damage varnish surfaces.

Diana was not well and the house sit for a month was possibly too much, but it was difficult to organise another lot of house sitters while overseas.  We are glad that they persevered with Fritz, our Cockatoo, who takes a little while to adapt to our being on holiday.
