We have a large family. We are currently going to be travelling with our 2 young daughters ( our other children have grown up and left home!). Sari is a Registered Nurse/Midwife with a special interest in supporting vulnerable families, and currently working in a Mixed Rehabillitation Unit and studying a Masters in Counselling. Gerard is a Barrister specialising in Personal Injury. Our Daughters are 17 and 11. We have a Daughter living and working in London. We are looking at taking extended leave from December to April in 2023/24 and are looking for a long term house swap/swaps for this period. We love music, reading, gardening, travel, cooking, history, exploring, beachcombing, animals - most things really! Our Daughter Elizabeth is hoping for the opportunity for some French language Immersion whilst we are away, and has the opportunity to stay with some family friends in France. Ideally, we'd love to base ourselves in England( where we have friends and family) and spend some significant time in Ireland, France and a visit to Germany ( family).

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our home is a historical "Queenslander" built in approximately 1860. It is typical of the period with large verandahs, high ceilings, period features including fireplaces. We have a large garden ( 3/4 of an acre) with a swimming pool and children's play area. We are within walking distance to our little "village", with grocery store, bookshop, cafes, doctors, hairdressers, dentist, bakery, library and so on. We are approximately a 20 minute train ride to the city of Brisbane, and the station is a 10-15 minute walk from home. We are around an hour to hour and a half drive to the beaches of both the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Brisbane International Airport is a 45 minute drive from our home, however, their is also links to the "Airtrain"
