* All mustering is done on 2-wheel motorbikes
* Work in the iconic Pilbara region across 105,000 Hectares
* Family-owned and run Cattle Station
The Role Our clients take great pride in having retained their successful cattle station in the family since 1910, with the current owner-managers being at the helm since 1974. Encompassing 105,000 hectares of grasslands, spinifex country, mulga woodlands, and hilly areas, with the Hamersley Ranges nearby, they have a deep understanding and respect for the landscape surrounding them.
Maintaining a herd of approximately 3,000 Charolais cross cattle, all mustering is conducted in a low-stress manner on two-wheel motorbikes, assisted by helicopters. With the mustering season due to commence in May, they are looking for a capable station hand to assist with all aspects of cattle husbandry, including yard work and mustering, as well as fencing and potentially installing solar pumps, tanks, and troughs. Additionally, you will be responsible for general tasks such as checking water, conducting repairs and maintenance, and fixing tyres.
The Offer Above-award wages, single accommodation surrounded by shady trees and an established lawn, hearty home-cooked meals, and reliable Telstra coverage are on offer for the successful candidate. With the season expected to commence in May and finish around the end of September, you will need to be able to commit to this time frame.
The Station is located 150 km southwest of Tom Price, and Karratha is 200km to the north on the coast. To the south of the station is the beautiful Karijini National Park, home to breathtaking gorges, crystal-clear rock pools, waterfalls, and wildflowers. Millstream National Park is to the north of the station and features rolling hills, escarpments, tree-lined rivers, and water pools. This area is rich in history, and weekends off will give you plenty of time to put your swag in the back and have an adventure.
