Jules and I are co-directors of a successful software company called aXcelerate (www.axcelerate.com.au) which was born out of our learning and development business called VM Learning. We live and work in Brisbane, Queensland three days of the week and then live and play (and a bit of work) for four days a week at our coastal residence near Pottsville (Cudgera Creek) in Northern NSW. We have four children, three of whom work in the business with us and one who is a fashion designer who live in Melbourne. Our first home exchanges commenced in Europe in 2004 with six home exchanges in six months. We have had several more home exchanges overseas and locally and can't wait to have our next home exchange!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is situated on the top of a hill surrounded by 35 acres of rainforest and lush native bush land with spectacular views over the coast and surrounding valleys. This is a unique property. Situated in beautiful Northern New South Wales, this exchange provides the opportunity to explore world heritage rainforest, magnificent beaches and natural beauty. Our local beach is a mere seven minutes away and Byron Bay is an easy 25-minute drive. Relax on white sands and savor delicious food at our local restaurants, visit regional and private galleries, our outdoor markets with crafts and organic food. This area is one of the most scenic and interesting in Australia. Our Gold Coast International airport is just 30 minutes away with Surfers Paradise just another 15 mins further north.

About 30 minutes south of Pottsville is Australia's world famous Byron Bay and 30 minutes north is Coolangatta, Queensland our international airport and gateway to the Gold Coast. Just north of the Gold Coast are Australia's premier theme parks including Sea World, Dreamworld, Movie World, WhiteWater World, and Wet 'n' Wild Water World.
