Assignment Requirements

**UPDATE** 10 March 2021

We are currently in discussions with a couple of interested parties.

We will be travelling for the month of July 2021 and are in need of a housesitter to look after our home and a sprightly 17 year old cat called Mowie. Our home is situated within Mount Glorious Village at Mount Glorious. Mount Glorious is a small rural hamlet surrounded by National Park. Next door is Mount Nebo and combined the population is around 1500 residents. If you love nature and bushwalking this is for you. The villages of Nebo and Glorious are surrounded by the D'Aguliar National Park where there are spectacular bushwalks, rock pools and scenic lookouts.

The weekends in the Village do get busy as it is a motorbike riders dream and the Mt Glorious café which is 200 meters from the front door is always busy with motorbikes. Elm Haus cafe is further along the road approx 1.5kms and more sedate with day trippers and bushwalkers.

Should you love to sing you could pop across to Mt Nebo on a Thursday evening between 7.30pm-9.30pm and attend Peace'n'Choir which is my lovely choir that is completely acapella, they love visitors and your first visit is free to attend.

Down the bottom of the Mountain is Samford Valley and the Village of Samford which has everything you need for groceries, petrol, ATMs etc. It also has an array of gift shops, cafes and a local country pub that has wonderful meals.

**Please Note**

If you are travelling around in a caravan our property will not be suitable for you, there is nowhere for you to put your van.

If you are travelling with pets this house sitting assignment is not for you and we will not approve, our cat becomes extremely stressed around other animals .

About the Area

Mount Glorious Brisbane, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Mount Glorious moves to a different rhythm. Days unfold with the sound of rainforest birdsong, a gentle reminder of the surrounding D'Aguilar National Park. Neighbours here often know each other by name, sharing stories over coffee at the local cafe, a gathering spot where news travels as quickly as the mist rolls in. Expect friendly waves from passing vehicles, and the occasional shared anecdote about a visiting wallaby or a particularly vibrant sunset. This isn't a place for hurried errands; it's a place for observation and quiet appreciation. Daily life for a house sitter often centres around the local trails. Leash your charge for a refreshing morning walk along a fire trail within the park boundaries, where the air is cool and fragrant. Be mindful of native wildlife; wallabies and goannas are common sights, so keep pets close. Afterward, a stop at Cloverlea or the Mount Glorious Cafe offers not just a flat white, but a chance to overhear local chatter and perhaps learn about an upcoming community event, like a plant swap or a shared picnic. These spots are anchors for the community. Groceries are a drive down the mountain to Samford Village, so plan your provisions. The road is winding, requiring attention. Evenings here are often quiet, illuminated by starlight rather than streetlights, ideal for settling in with a book or simply listening to the forest come alive. Understanding this relaxed pace is key to settling comfortably into someone else's home. It’s a community built on shared experience of the mountain, where kindness and respect for nature are unspoken tenets.
