Strathbogie, Victoria

About this house sitting position in Strathbogie

Hi, our names are Bridget & Rob, we are an archaeologist (Bridget) and a gardener (Rob). We have 3 acres on a creek flat just out of Strathbogie (which isn't really much of a town). Our free range animals include chickens (10), ducks (20ish), 2 alpacas and a cat. We live in beautiful Strathbogie, which is 535m asl, east of Euroa in NE Victoria. We are 2 hrs north of Melbourne/ 2hrs south of Albury. Our neighbours are very friendly and helpful if you need it.

The animals take about 20mins work in the morning and the same again in the evening, so you can go out during the day and explore the region. We are close to Mansfield, wineries, gourmet food region etc.

There is a general store/ PO in Bogie (as we call it!), but we usually do shopping in Euroa (20km away). There is also abundant wildlife here: koalas, wallabies, roos, echidnas and so on. We have gardens and fruit trees that need watering now and then. Mobile phone coverage is Telstra and related carriers only. We have a landline (for emergencies) and ADSL internet for your use.

We are looking to go away for up two months April-May and would love experienced sitter/s to come and stay.
