Apart from assisting with a variety of farm tasks, jobs are varied, ranging from assisting with stock work, shearing, fence repairs, tree planting, weed spraying, all depending on requirements and time of year. Applicants with additional skills like carpentry, construction, painting, or similar are welcome to apply.

Fully self-contained accommodation is available on farm; details and terms can be discussed on application.  

You must be dog friendly and treat animals kindly and with respect.  

Non-smokers and drug free applicants only.

Please send your CV together with any information on relevant skills and experience and we can discuss further.

Applicants must hold a current WHV and have their own transport.
