We are retired professionals who are now travelling the world, working through our "Bucket List".
We have 2 adult children and one beautiful granddaughter who all live in Brisbane.....which is wonderful.
We are very active in the local community and have many wonderful friends both in Australia and overseas.
We love gardening and after a lifetime of having pets, we no longer have any.
After being inactive members of Homelink for several years, in 2016 we have just included information about our home and where we would like to 'exchange'.
We have travelled extensively aver the years, both for work reasons and holidays.

We are very fit and healthy.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our brick home backs onto a beautiful creek amongst trees and therefore many birds, including kookaburras. It is 10 kms from the Brisbane CBD with bus and train transport. A multi-story major shopping centre is 10 minutes away by bus. Two more shopping areas with supermarkets restaurants and cafes are only 10 minutes walk. A few minutes walk to small supermarket, café and doctor's rooms.
The amazing Lone Pine Sanctuary where koalas can be cuddled and kangaroos can be patted and hand fed is only a short distance away.
Chapel Hill is close to major arterial roads so Ipswich, the northern Sunshine Coast and the southern Gold Coast (which includes Surfers Paradise) are easily accessed.
Chapel Hill is also a safe, friendly neighbourhood with beautiful walks up to the summit of Mt Coot-tha where you can enjoy a coffee, ice cream or selection of food from 2 restaurants. This is where you will see spectacular views over Brisbane.
Our block is 1300 m2 with lovely garden to wander around

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is very quiet, safe and very friendly. We live at the end of a long driveway which we share with fantastic neighbours.
One rule is that when you go for walks/runs in the mornings or evenings, you must say hello to everyone you come across!!!

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important that we return to a neat and tidy home with no damage. We may ask you to water the garden if it is very dry (we have a sprinkler system to make it easy). We will provide a check list to make it easy for you to leave our home secure etc as well as contact details for other essential reasons.
