House-sitting (staying in people's homes while they're away, and
caring for their property and pets) is growing in popularity across the world, but no where less so than in Australia.
Whether it's because of the increased security, care of pets and plants, or purely because it's reassuring to know somebody's there to bring in the mail, I don't know. But, either way, it's offering a great opportunity to travellers, holiday-makers or those who simply enjoy the nomadic life.
House-sitting around Australia can, through, present a variety to challenges to the unwary, just as it can offer amazing benefits and experiences to the informed.

Like the idea, but don't think you're up to it?
For the last few years my husband, Steve, and I have been house-sitting around Australia, first by car and then by electric bike.
Now, before you say, 'Oh, I can't do that,' perhaps I should mention that we're both 50+, don't have a stash of money in the bank, and have never, ever, held a gym membership (or set foot in one as far as I can remember). So don't count yourself out too soon.
The life of a full-time house-sitter and Digital Nomad is a fun one... It's full of variation, activity and adventure, yet also more than enough time to just sit and watch the scenery - and, of course, here in Australia there's more than enough scenery to watch.
