CARETAKER OPPORTUNITY
Cane Farm, Giru — North Queensland
Live-In | Non-Employment | Immediate Start March/April 2026
Are you a retired individual or couple dreaming of the simple life in tropical North Queensland? Nestled in the scenic foothills of Mt Elliot and on the banks of the Haughton River, this working cane farm offers a rare opportunity to trade farm duties for a relaxed, rent-free rural lifestyle.
THE LIFESTYLE
Imagine waking up each morning surrounded by lush cane fields with mountain views, casting a line in the River, and finishing the day at the local watering hole just 10 minutes down the road. This is not just a job — it's a lifestyle.
* Peaceful rural surrounds in the shadow of Mt Elliot National Park
* River frontage with excellent fishing right on your doorstep
* 10 minutes to the nearest town
* Free powered caravan/motorhome site plus access to a 3-bedroom farm cottage
* All tools and equipment supplied — nothing to bring but yourself
THE ROLE
This is a light-medium, rewarding role requiring approximately 15 hours per week. Duties include:
* General farm maintenance and caretaking
* Running pumps and irrigation
* Gardening, whipper-snipping, and ride-on mowing
* Assisting with repairs and improvements to the farm cottage
Additional paid work opportunities may be available for those interested.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
* A motivated, active individual or couple who love rural life
* Reliable and self-sufficient with a moderate level of fitness
* Experience in carpentry, farming or general property maintenance is an advantage
* Non-smokers who are tidy, and take pride in their space
* Dog lovers welcome — well-behaved dogs considered (note: property is unfenced)
THE ARRANGEMENT
This is a non-employment lifestyle exchange — free accommodation and the use of the property in return for farm duties. No rent, no bills, just the simple pleasures of rural Queensland living.
