Working Holidays

It is like that around Kununurra in tourist season. Every shop and business was advertising for staff in their window, and i met with the proprietor of a shop on a different matter and she offered me a job - before i told her i had been working in her line of business!

Our next door neighbours in the CP spend the season in Kununurra returning each year to the same job, then going south for the horticultural jobs in between.

The problem is we are only 23 - everyone seems to be after grey nomads!

I can't see youth being a problem - where i come from it is very hard to get a job if over 50. In Kununurra as the example here, most of the check out chicks/guys, shop assistants, even the casualty nurse and lady doctor (one of whom had young children) were transient and living in their camper or caravans.

There are young people working everywhere up there. Backpackers, school leavers, young married couples, you name it they are up there working, alongside a lot of us older folks.

my experience:

Governess
Administration
Bar Staff
Waitress
Nanny
Light station work


Husbands experience:

mechanical minded
qualified boiler maker
harvesting experience
customer service
bar work
waiter

We have a ute with canopy and also an oz tent hoping to build a camper trailer between now and then also

I would look at buying a van for a start, the tent and camper will wear thin very quickly as you will be "working" and not on "hols" .....
Some will offer accom but dont bank on it and also rental accom is near on impossible as you head north unless you are loaded.
A few good sites ..... the few formost are "Seek, Career One and My Career" and set up a notification with the key words of "remote", you will get a lot of "remote" medicial jobs but filter through and you will turn up some good ones.. another good keyword is simply the exact location of where you plan to stop and work, for instance "Darwin" will almost always bring up any job that is in "darwin".....
Another new one is "red banana" not bad but still new to the game..
Another is "trans remote" it will have some that suit you both as a couple and will mostly offer accom .....
The internet is the best thing short of the local paper of the place, if you can get your hands on it then you are on a roll....
ALSO, get your resme up to date and ready to e mail when required and get GOOD referees, let them know what you are looking at doing.....
There is HEAPS of work out here if you simply want to work and are flexable and some really well paid jobs around also but accom is very hard to get, again look at a caravan as you wont last long in a camper or tent, we tried it and never ever again..
I would stay away from the bar work as you will be up against the backpackers who will work for very little just for a job, your combined experiance is really solid, i would have taken you both on, position filled last Mon, sorry :-)
Good luck
