State of Queensland, Australia - from Apr 2025 until Aug 2025 View all
Description
Gareth, 30yo, Irish.
Qualified electrician. I have previously worked for a landscaping company for a number of years and also grew up on a beef farm, my father owned an agricultural business.
Claire, 30yo, Irish.
Qualified Early Childhood Educator and Special Needs Assistant. I have previously worked in early childhood settings as room leader, as a special needs assistant in schools and as a waitress and bartender. I also grew up on a farm which instilled in me a deep appreciation for hard work, responsibility and teamwork from an early age.
Myself and Claire have seen over 20 countries together since we met almost 5 years ago. We like hiking, nature and the great outdoors. We have a great fondness for wildlife and the unknown which is what brought us to Australia at the age of 30. Both of us grew up on a farm in Ireland which gave us a deep appreciation for hard work, responsibility, and teamwork from an early age. As a friendly and open minded couple, we truly enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and learning from others. We hope to bring a positive presence into your life- however long it may be.
Ideally we would like a paid position in Queensland or Northern Territory to count towards our second holiday visa, (88days) but we are happy to volunteer while we are searching for somewhere. We are ready to make the move around the end of May.
