About this house sitting position in Gordon
We live in South Canberra. Our deck has a lovely view of the southern end of the Brindabella Ranges. We're a nice 15 min drive from Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.
We have a very chilled 9yo cat named Shadow and a little "nugget" dog called Gioia (which means Joy in Italian and is pronounced Joya). Gioia is 4 years old.
As you can see from the photos Shadow and Gioia get along very well. Shadow grew up with two American Staffys who have since passed so he became very attached to Gioia as soon as she arrived.
I have a number of potted plants which will need a bit of water occasionally, depending on the weather.
We have a small fishpond with 1 lone fish in it.
Our local supermarkets (Woolies and Aldi) are about a 10-15 min walk (3min drive)and there is a small IGA about 5 min walk from our house. There are also a couple of cafes and take away shops (including Crust Pizza, Wokit Up, Hungry Jacks, McDonalds and Dominos) as well as a Chemist, Newsagent, Post Office, gyms and other shops in our local shopping precinct.
We also have a Vikings Football Club on the other side of the shopping centre.
Public transport will get you to the larger shopping centre which has a cinema, shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs and everything else you'd expect.
I have stated below that our home is two storey but it is actually split level, being split by 7 steps. Most of the living area is downstairs. Read more...
