Jobs available

Probably is a bit of hard yakka, but most grey nomads I know (and I am one) are not afraid of a bit of hard work. The pay not that relevant, as we do it for the experience, and very often we are giving a farmer a bit of a hand as well.

I recall three weeks when I was in the Flinders where I did a morning and afternoon garbage run for the owners where I was staying, for which I received a free powered site for my stay, and a tank of diesel when I was leaving. Absolutely loved it. My mate did the loos .... same pay scale.

Very true Nudie, but if it helps to pay some bills as well as give you a chance to explore the surroundings, why not? As Jack has posted, most grey nomads are not afraid of a bit of hard work and the remuneration should not jeopardise any benefits they are receiving.

The pay is commensurate to what you pick. Pick mobs and you get good pay.

The first week is the worst. That is when you discover muscles you never knew existed in your body. You drop into bed without having tea and wake up as stiff as a board just before picanniny daylight the next morning. The second week things start to loosen up and you get into a rythm.

But its not for the fain hearted and this grey nomad isn't interested in doing that kind of work any more. Been there, done that!

There are howeve, lots of other jobs in the outback, as mentioned, and thos e looking for work shouldn't have trouble finding it.
