Do you want to experience Outback family life but don't want to wrestle with wild cows?
Are you a home-loving girl, wanting to care for children, look after the house and do the 101 things that a Wife and Mother does every day on a cattle or sheep station?
This work would include some cooking and cleaning, some gardening, some child-care - or in the swimming pool, driving them to school or to the bus stop. Maybe you would collect the mail from the road-end or the airstrip, help with the washing and ironing, table laying, washing up, dusting and polishing - the job is varied indeed.
This sort of work is sometimes called being a Mother's Help, in other places a Girl Friday. However, a Girl Friday would also have outdoor duties, helping with the animals, driving, riding and taking part in all the work of the station.
These jobs are usually paid between AU$250 and AU$300 per week clear, depending on age and experience and you are always given free food and accommodation.
You usually live in the family homestead and the job is for two to six months.
Job Start : July onwards
Job Duration : 3 months minimum
Job Requirements : No experience required but a 'Can Do' attitude is beneficial.
