Rural Australia job – working in a pub, hotel or roadhouse
 |
 Working in a rural pub, hotel or roadhouse can be an exciting experience, as can jobs in host farms and rural resorts – which can vary from small family run affairs, to internationally recognised eco and outback properties.
Jobs here are mostly for girls, but young men who are chefs or very good cooks are also welcome. Food and accommodation is provided on the job and the pay varies from $300 - $600 (for chefs) after tax per week. The Blue Heeler is a well known pub on the main highway north westwards from Brisbane. Here you can see all local forms of transport are in evidence – people to come the pub by horse, ute, truck and even plane – his engine is still running! |

Rural Australia job – working with polo horses or in racing stables
 |
These jobs are for people who are already very good riders when they come to Australia and can be anywhere in Australia – though there have been chances for jockeys to ride racing camels in the far northern parts. For polo ponies you have to be able to ride one horse and lead two others at all speeds. The polo work is usually for six days a week, the day off often being Monday. Matches are attended at weekends and you may travel with your polo farm owner. With race horses you would ride work at the training yards and often also travel to the races whenever they are held. The polo enterprises usually offer accommodation on the family farm – for the racehorse stables the accommodation would be in quarters provided by the employers. These jobs pay between $350 - $550 per week (after tax) plus food and accommodation. You would live on the farm where you are working. |

Rural Australia job – General farm work
 |
These jobs are for people who have no special farming skills or experience but wish to live with an Australian family in Outback and rural areas. The work is usually for five or six days a week depending upon the work load. Accommodation is on the family farm, on the larger properties probably in quarters with meals provided by a cook, on the smaller family properties it could be in a cottage collocated with the homestead or even in the homestead it self with most meals taken with the family. If they live in the homestead or have meals there they will be expected to help, out just as they would at home. The work could cover every aspect of day to day life on a property such as feeding cattle or sheep, maintaining the water supply, property maintenance or feeding orphan animals. These jobs pay between $350 - $550 per week (after tax) plus food and accommodation. You would live on the farm where you are working. |
