Options include those for skilled workers and those for unskilled workers as well. We have several friends who have trade skills and easily found work in any town they go to. Electricians for example are in short supply in the country and you can sometimes find it hard to leave a town there is so much work to do. Another friend is a cabinet maker and travels with a mobile workshop. He has found work all over Australia and has had several jobs on outback stations as well. This is a great lifestyle opportunity to see life in the real outback. Having your own accommodation is a bonus for the employers in these situations so makes you more employable.
Other friends a have found jobs with the circus following the troupe along their show route. Fuel was supplied with this trip and the children loved the circus lifestyle and the opportunities this brings. Others have found work as child carers and station hands. There are so many opportunities out there.
Outback
Helpers is another scheme that finds mature travellers are lending
a helping hand to Australia's farming families and in return receive free
board, country hospitality and a taste of the outback. Placements vary
from a few days to several weeks and entails general household help and
basic farm duties as directed by hosts in return for board or caravan
space. In some cases, payment may be offered. "We invite all those
intrepid nomadic retirees out there to join us, and spend from a few days
to a few weeks of your holiday helping out on a station. You'll have a
holiday like no other, experiencing for yourself what outback life is
really like."
Go Harvest is another
option. This site offers experienced and inexperienced people opportunities
for seasonal crop picking, packing and general farm hand experiences.
So don't let lack of funds be the only thing preventing you from getting
out there and enjoying the motorhoming lifestyle. there are plenty of
jobs and experiences out there to be had
