About

Wanted- an experienced mature couple to look after our 100 acre farm in the hills overlooking Lockyer Valley while we are away for 3 weeks.
Preferably, you have self contained caravan, otherwise you can stay in our off- grid rustic weekender cottage which has awesome views, a wood- burning stove, bbq, queen sized bed and bathroom and washing facilities and is 500m away from the main house. The power from the cottage is not enough to charge up a Van's batteries, so you will need some solar panels, but you can still use the shower, toilet and laundry facilities.
We need you to look after our Frida, an aussie cattle dog, and 18 cows in the paddocks (which just need to be spotted every now and then and maybe the water trough topped up) . Frida is well behaved and lives outside but comes inside at night to sleep. She loves to go for drives in the car and chase the cows back into the paddock if they venture through the barbed wire.
We need you to have a presence on the property, water the pot plants and vegies and top the pool up if it is low. Feel free to hang out at the house on the veranda and in the pool. You could put the van down at the house, plug into the mains and use your own toilet and shower and go up to the cottage to use the washing machine.
The property has terrific views to Main Range National Park and Mt Nebo area and great sunrises over the bluff. 10 minutes to the shops in Plainland with Woolies, Aldi and a Bunnings.
There are some lovely lunch time cafes in the area and a great area for drives to dams and day trips to Scenic Rim, Toowoomba, Brisbane etc.

House Tasks

You will be required to mainly be a presence here, look after the dog, get the a bit of watering down at the house, and to check on the cows.
The pool will need to be vacuumed by the robot( so you'll have to put it in the pool and then get it out when finished and put it on to recharge) and topped with water occasionally.
