* Working collaboratively with the farm team and family owners

About Flinders Island & Lifestyle
Flinders Island sits in Bass Strait, just a short flight from Melbourne or Launceston, but feels a world away. With fewer than 1,000 residents, the island offers:
* Rugged coastlines, stunning beaches, and endless opportunities for fishing, diving, and bushwalking
* A safe, close-knit community where local sports, events, and gatherings bring people together
* Fresh local produce, farmers' markets, and a slower pace of life that lets you reconnect with the land and sea
Alongside Quoin Farm, our family also operates a small tourism business on the island. This creates further opportunities for employment — perfect for couples or families where a partner may be seeking part-time or seasonal work in hospitality, guiding, or retail.
