It has been great to belong to Aussie Housesitters on and off over the last 2 to 3 years. We've ranged from south east Queensland to southern Victoria and stayed mostly on rural properties. As a retired city dweller I've learned some very handy farming and animal husbandry skills along the way. In all that time each house sit dovetailed neatly with the next barring two occasions where a 5 day break in a caravan park was a welcome change. By arrangement we even managed to mind one owner's dogs for a second round at another owner's home. We miss most of our doggy pets so decided to acquire two "rescue" dogs of our own. The final housesit at Grassmere Victoria was exceptional for many reasons. We've also "belonged" to some wonderful churches along the way. We've met some great people and made some life long friends in the process and are grateful to Aussie House Sitters for an unforgettable three years. Frank and Anna
