About the property

Retired older lady offers private, air conditioned, queen size room with double bed, built in wardrobes, and desk.
Share well equipped kitchen, laundry, and common areas including lounge, dining room, outdoor covered area and garden. Own bathroom most of the time, occasionally shared. Please note that other bedrooms are kept for my own use and for my family when they come to visit.
You will have your own half-size fridge, two freezer drawers and cupboard space set aside for your own food storage (I use the larger fridge for myself). All cuisines are welcome in this house. I was a great cook once and, although I don’t have the energy for that anymore, there might be a rare occasion when I still feel well enough to make us something nice to share.
Utilities are included, as is internet. Off street parking available.
Thoughtful, clean, and tidy individuals of any age are welcome to apply, women and non-binary preferred.

About the flatmates
Hi, my name is Karen (yes, really). I’m 75 years old and my adult children tell me that sometimes I fit the stereotype associated with my name, but only occasionally :))
I'm mostly kind and caring, although I know that I can be a cranky old lady sometimes due to chronic pain and health issues. If you can ignore my cranky tone of voice on my unwell days, then we’ll get along just fine. I have people who come to help me around the house and in the garden, so there are no expectations that you assist me in these areas. I enjoy reading, watching movies, and ABC and SBS television. I love literature and the arts, am well-travelled, and interested in other cultures.
My parents are of Italian heritage. I grew up in New Guinea, north of Australia, and later moved to Brisbane for education. I have a degree majoring in Ancient History, Modern History and English Literature from the University of Queensland. I’ve travelled throughout Europe and worked in various careers, including as an English teacher in Italy and as a librarian here in Australia. Fun fact: I was the first employee at the State Library of Queensland to wear hotpants to work in the 1970’s.
You will also be sharing our home with a yellow parrot named Noddy. He speaks a little and says things like, “Hello”, “Noddy’s a pretty boy”, “Whatcha doin?’”, and “Give me a kiss”.
