We live in the best area of the Sunshine Coast(Queensland) at Marcus Beach (near the resort town of Noosa Heads and Peregian Beach).

We have a beachfront house (split level, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) and a swimming pool. From our back garden a private path leads directly to the beach where you can swim,surf,walk, fish, bike ride,all year. Marcus Beach and surrounding national parks are also great for bushwalking and bird watching. The upper reach of the Noosa River is ideal for canoeing and bush camping. Golfers are also well catered for in Noosa. Public transport, to the local areas and also to Maroochydore and Brisbane, is at a walking distance from our home. The nearest airport is at Maroochydore (25 minutes by car from Marcus Beach, with direct flights to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne).

Our house is not suitable for small children. No smoking in the house. No pets. Car available for exchange (Mitsubishi Magna station wagon - automatic).

As retirees (in our early sixties) we are flexible with our time and open to offers. We will be in New Zealand in March 2004 for 4 weeks for our first home exchange.
