We are an active couple who still operate two farms near the inland city of Toowoomba in Queensland. Toowoomba is less than two hours driving from Brisbane or the Gold Coast. We love to travel and meet new people. Having undertaken many many home and hospitality exchanges in the past, and now free to offer our country home again for exchange, we have re-joined Homelink. In the past, our property has been popular for those seeking to experience Australian farm life. In addition, the house and grounds have been a popular retreat for a craft retreat for many years. We have decided to offer the facilities again for home exchange. We are keen to see even more of our great country and, now that the COVID virus frees us up to travel again, to go on an overseas adventure. So, we are open to offers.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is set in a peaceful rural setting, just 20 minutes from the inland city of Toowoomba. It has been enjoyed by overseas visitors in the past, and those seeking a unique Australian experience. Sugarloaf Mountain is a working farm, but guests are not expected to care for the stock, or any animals, in fact we have no pets at all, save our wildlife - who tend for themselves. Sorry, we cannot offer a car exchange.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Day trip to the Bunya Mountains National Park, Oakey Fly Past Museum, The Jondaryan Woolshed, and Highfields Historical Museum.
Shopping and cafes of Highfields very close; as is the acclaimed Meringandan Pub.
Toowoomba itself is 20 mins by two lane highway. This exchange would suit those who seek a unique Australian country experience.
Interesting day trips
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We have never experienced anything other than the utmost care of our property with home exchangers in the past. We have formed many new friends through home exchanging, and have many happy memories.
Garden sprinklers may need checking, a few outside pots to water. No pet care needed, but would appreciate an occasional check of water levels in cattle troughs....drive past to check not overflowing. Neighbours can be called on at any time if need be.
