Work Wanted

Hi Old Dog,

Just a suggestion mate, maybe if you added what you consider you may be good at.
You know trade, profession, what you did for a crust.

55 years...pftth...just a young fella. (;-))


Cheers

Gerday Old Dog,

Hi Old Dog, Their is a web site called Workabout Australia, It has many jobs all over Australia.

Young bloke,
central northern Qld at cane harvest time. Get onto one of the labour hire mobs as they are always looking out for haulout operators, especially if you have mechanical knowledge.

Only thing is you would require a UD or HR/HC licence depending on the gear.

Traffic control is another one.

Happy travels,
RA.

Queenland Country Life and other such rural papers usually have quite a few ads for Caretakers on rural properties. Most come with a bit of a wage plus free accomodation etc in return for doing water runs and keeping an eye on the stock.

Regards John

Old dog.
Have gathered that you are from Tassie and wish to work around a bit, and also your previous work experience is a bonus for future employers.
Are you able to advise your rough travel plans as I sometimes require people on a part time basis.
Please feel free to contact me if you venture to W.A.
Cheers
Paul

Old Dog,

I'd try some of the pastoral companies too. They often need people on a part time, or even full time basis.

You can google the following, as I don't have phone numbers for them anymore:

Australian Agricultural Company,

Parraway Pastoral Co.

MDH(MacDonald family)

NAPCO (North Australian Pastoral Co.)

Consolidated Pastoral Co.

Acton Family

Stanbroke Pastoral Co.

The above companies also advertise in the back of "Outback" magazine too, Old Dog, if you can pick up a copy.

Another company, Outback International, also do recruiting for mining and pastoral properties. You could register with them.

At 55 you've got plenty of years left in you, Old Dog. It's all to do with attitude, a positive outlook and a healthy body helps too.

Bob.

Gday O Dog

Howdy .... "Grey Nomads Employment" is a good start, we have used them before, there is a LOT of work out there, we prefer "older" people, more so couples as they are not into the "social" life and can enjoy sitting back and enjoying the quite and peace out here (Doomadgee Roadhouse) and have VAST amounts of knowlage and experiance that we learn off, we get younger couples or singles and spend MORE time trying to slow them down, we cant seem to get it across that it may take twice as long to do but it will be done TWICE as good, and done once and properly ...
We even now stress how quite it is, how SLOW we want people and how there is absolutly NO social life yet they still get here and ask, where do we meet people, what do we do after work, it is boring ..
For pugs sake PLEASE, if you think you are to old for working, to slow, spend to much time doing it right rather than quickly then think again, the REMOTE areas need people like you ...
Cheers
Joe
