Sturt

Hi there, my name is Tim. I am a single 42yo male and work full time in both projects in remote Aboriginal communities and in the AFL system. I am very down to earth, a country boy from the South East of SA, who has spent time in the Northern Territory and is very invested in Australian Rules football. Because of this I travel frequently, particularly during the AFL season.

I am a knockabout bloke who enjoys a beer now and then and because of my work, I have spent many years having younger people live with me. This involves helping younger people learn how to cook, pay the bills and generally just learning to be a good person. I also like to connect with their parents, so for young people moving to Adelaide for the first time, there is always an open line of contact and the spare bedroom in the house is always available for parents who may be visiting from out of Adelaide and need a place to stay.

Angus is 18 and is also from the SE region of SA. Angus has moved to Adelaide to try his hand at SANFL football and work full time. He is also a pretty casual person and is very invested into his footy; this means our household - whilst certainly friendly and social - isn't a party house and is very 'athlete' focused. This doesn't mean you need to be an athlete to live with us but if you like sport (especially AFL) and understand our house is skewed towards sports people and what their lifestyle entails, you will fit in well!

We would prefer a person working full time or a uni student and whilst it isn’t set in stone, our place is suitable for a younger person. We aren’t looking for couples, however, if you have a partner of course they are welcome to visit and stay from time to time!

We are very casual people and enjoy spending time together, however, it is important not to be under each others feet all the time.

We aren't into having parties or anything like that, however, that doesn't mean you can't have friends over! We are a social household and we enjoy a laugh and joke, a quiet beer together now and then and as mentioned earlier, have dinners together when we are all home. Someone who likes to engage but at the same time, give space to everyone else and understand that there are other people in the house is important.

We also need someone who is happy to share their duties with the chores around the house and we put a little time aside each week to keep the house looking respectable.

We also need someone who is willing to share (equally) the cooking duties for the house. Catching up for a chat over dinner is a great way to keep engaged together. Each week we put some money aside (an equal amount from each person) which goes into a tin and from this, the cost of the weekly meals comes out of this and any spare money from that is then used for household cleaning products, swimming pool products and general household products that we all share; cooking oil, toilet paper, washing powder etc
