He volunteers de-sexing dogs in an aboriginal community in Arnhem Land but these days he fits in a lot of fly fishing. Pam loves gardening. WE both still like snow skiing & walking & ‘going bush’ in our off-road caravan. We have three adult children (flown the nest) & 3 dear little grandsons; all of whom live nearby.

Meie soovitused, kuhu minna ja mida teha ajal, kui viibite meie kodus
Perfect location for touring up and down the coast and be back at base the same day or for exploring Melbourne or Geelong or all that the Bellarine Peninsula offers. Some activities include: Visit historic lighthouses in the nearby towns of Queenscliff, or take car ferry to Sorrento,or ride a steam train or dive with seals & shipwrecks, visit Point Lonsdale, for views of the notorious rip: entrance to Port Phillip Bay; visit Torquay, home to surf brands, Quicksilver and Ripcurl, and famous Bells Beach. Continue along the Great Ocean Road, one of the world’s iconic coast drives: visit the 12 Apostles, visit Lorne with its wide bay,watch kangaroos on the Anglesea golf course, or walk in rainforest or view it from the tree tops on the 'Otway Fly’. There’s fishing, surfing, swimming, world class golf courses and wineries. Lots to do in Geelong, our regional city which is 20 minutes away & Melbourne is only an hour from there by train or car & is renowned for sporting, culinary & cultural attractions, hidden lane way bars & multicultural suburbs. Ballarat is a great day trip for re-living Australian history. You can fly to Sydney & the Gold Coast from nearby Avalon airport.

Mis meile meeldib ja mis mitte ... Siin on meie eelistused ja kodu reeglid.
We would love to take our whole family (adults & grand kids) overseas; particularly to Spain or Portugal or France or Italy; anywhere really; is there a like-minded family anywhere in Europe who would exchange with us?? What a fantastic experience this would be for all!
Another preference is just us two empty nesters swapping a beach house for a ski house in the northern hemisphere.
OR to swap our beach home for a home/apartment in Melbourne, perhaps on a regular basis (either bayside or inner Melbourne)
OUR house rules are simple: we would show the same respect for your home as we would expect from you. WE LOVE OUR HOME as do our children & grand children but we’re not precious!!
