Grew up in the bush on a small prickle farm with dogs, cats, chooks cattle and the occasional snake. Spent a couple of years milking cows and did a season as a roustabout in a shearing shed. We regularly caretake a cattle property in SW Qld. (ref available) Have cared for a small poultry farm and have cared for several hobby farms with a menagerie of animals.
Retired - educator, artist and granny
Retired - jack of most trades
A professional couple (of bushies), recently retired. We are non smokers, happy gardeners and enjoy the great outdoors . We have travelled extensively and worked across a broad spectrum of disciplines throughout Australia and overseas.
Shelly’s a Brisbane girl with a background in art (textiles), early childhood development, disability & community support, retail & administration… Daire grew up on a small prickle farm in rural Victoria, picking spuds and raising poddy calves, worked in dairy, wheat/sheep, as a Firey & a deckhand, before rewarding careers in aviation/tourism, community development and support coordination.
We spent many years working in very remote desert regions of Australia, lived in Ireland for some years and more recently spent 10 years in Cairns.
Along with Aussie/Celtic folk music, flying, boating and easy walks, we enjoy exploring new places & cultures. At our life stage one more adventure would be worth considering.
We have an old 4x4 mobile home and plan to spend the next few months traveling the long paddock, before heading overseas from Aug 25 to March 26......... we are currently in the Cairns region.
