I grew up on a dairy farm on the Northern Rivers of NSW. Went to ANU in Canberra and then lived and worked all my adult life in Sydney. When I retired I returned to my family farm. I now spend most of my time on my farm and being very involved in the hometown community. Therefore you would have the apartment to yourself quite often. I still want to have a place in Sydney. I have good friends in Sydney and like to catch up with them.
I have been sharing with many people for 50 years. I am very easy going. I understand when you live with someone you have to compromise and accept differences. I respect my flatmates own space and privacy I like to keep the common areas clean and tidy. I like plants. I’ve started growing Australian Native Finger Limes on my farm. I enjoy cooking when at home. I like to occasionally entertain friends.
I like people who are relaxed, open, friendly, clean and tidy.
