Our home

We live on 70 acres which is leased out, so no farm work required. the main job will be to look after our 6 year old black Labrador dog, Max. He required walking each day and some companionship. Our house is 3 bedroom, one bathroom and is 35 years old. we have in floor heating run from a wood stove. We are 7km from Meeniyan which is a lovely little town with all the amenities, cafes etc. We are 1 hours drive from Wilsons Promontory National Park and 30 minutes from the nearest beach.

South Gippsland is a great area. Lots of walks in bush, beach etc. Inverloch is only a 25minute drive away, which is a lovely beach for walking. Rail trail nearby.

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
Max is a 6 year old black Labrador. He is an active dog, sleeps outside. He is use to a walk in the morning and at night but is flexible as long as he gets a walk to tire him out and keep him interested. He can be a bit of a wombat, but we have the year fully inclosed and dog proof. He need feeding morning and night, although once again flexible, he will eat any time of the day. The difficulty is not feeding him too much.
