Brindabella, Australian Capital Territory

I live one hour out of Canberra in a pristine valley right on river front. It’s a 3 bedroom cottage surrounded by 2 acres of lovely garden. I have a watering system set up and would not expect weeding ect. What I do need help with is looking after my pets, 3 well behaved older dogs and 2 cats. They sleep inside. And now my kids are grown they are my kids! The river is clear pristine water good for swimming and fishing. The area is a nature lover paradise. Practical experience loving rurally is preferred.
