Seeking help on Beef and Irrigation Property near Goomeri
After two major floods in 2022 and now dry weather, we are looking for some help to keep the wheels churning. Located 35km north of Goomeri QLD, our business normally consists of backgrounding cattle, growing and irrigating of cattle feed and lucerne, as well as making hay.
Tasks:
There are a wide variety of jobs to be done, meaning there will be something to suit whatever you would prefer to do.
Jobs could include mixing lick, feeding cattle, irrigation and stock water repairs (from flood), tractor driving, general machinery maintenance and gardening. We are flexible and happy to work out what jobs will be suitable.
We are also looking for a hand to tidy up our second house to get ready for Air BnB or rent, and prepare campsites to welcome caravaners to stay.
Accommodation: We have multiple accommodations options. Our home property has workers quarters that is fully lined with cemented verandah area, inside shed is a kitchenette area, shower, toilet, laundry tub and a separate bedroom. Or you could park a caravan here and plug into power and water.
Our second property with house is 10 km’s away from home property and available as accommodation while it is getting cleaned up. Or there is a shed where you can set up your caravan. Shed has solar electricity and gas hot water, toilet, shower and kitchen sink. Happy to discuss further and work something out.
We hope that the volunteers that help us in these challenging times find this a wonderful experience and is a win win for us all. The old saying goes a change is like a holiday. If a few hours a day in exchange for the country atmosphere is your ideal thing that is okay. If longer hours a day in exchange for the country atmosphere and meals supplied and shared together is your ideal thing that is great also.
Non-smoker essential.
Feel free to ask any questions!
