Description
We are a young family of 4 (Dave, Doll, Jock and Zoe) living on a beef cattle property out of Mitchell. 8 hours west of Brisbane with daily flights to Roma we are well connected and are surrounded by great people and many social activities/tourist destinations. Our place is just shy of 160,000 acres and we run approx 3000 beef cattle and have people employed to help with this.
We muster by the air and motorbikes a few times a year and have many daily jobs on top of that. These jobs include feeding out dry supplements, molasses, checking bores and water points daily, fencing and general maintenance. Would love to share this wonderful opportunity with anyone interested in experiencing real outback Australia and be able to share in the magical part of the world that we live and choose to work in. We will always provide a welcoming friendly environment for visitors as well as very comfortable accommodation and all food.
Thanks Doll
