Located on an island (Macleay Island) only 15 minutes by fast ferry/barge to the mainland where there is numerous large shopping center's restraunt's hotels theater complex and all manner of commercial requirements. From there it is a comfortable 45 minute drive to the center of Brisbane the capital city of Queensland and the international and domestic airports, Queensland is Australia's sunniest and warmest state year round. Our home has uninterrupted stunning views over the water and for the keen water person many hours can be spent either laying on the sand, swimming in the warm waters, relaxing on the balcony, or catching the local fish and if your lucky one of our world famous mud crabs (very tasty), and just enjoying what our vast Pacific ocean offers. Our home is designed for easy waterfront living and the island is serviced by a good variety of shops, 2 supermarkets, Butcher, Pharmacy, Doctor, clubs, restaurants, cafes, 9 hole golf course, lawn Green Bowling club, a hotel and more. Everything you need is available on the Island.

Our beach house is a great location to use`as a base from which to explore the rest of our beautiful country, then return to the tranquility of Island life.

We are a semi-retired professional couple, our children are now all adults and moved on, so now its our turn to travel and see the world. Home Exchange is a wonderful way to explore far away places that we may not normally visit plus it allows someone to see our amazing country and surrounds. We would expect to arrange an exchange some way in advance in order to get to know our fellow exchangers and of course have you get to know us. We are a very 'house proud' couple and will respect your property as if it was our own.

We have completed a number of exchanges in Europe, North America, New Zealand and Australia and made some really nice new friends. We would now like to keep the ball rolling for 2011, 2012 and beyond. If you have Skype we are more than happy to chat with you and answer any questions you may have.

Exchange does not need to be simultaneous, happy to bank exchanges either way.

We provide a car for your use if you need one and would hope that you are able to do the same for us .
