Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

This is a remote position, and you will be required to live and work at one of our properties for the entire season. We provide all meals and accommodation. Please be aware of the unique challenges and limitations associated with long-term remote living. Our season operates from April - October.

REMOTE LIVING

This lifestyle offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the everyday, immerse yourself in nature, and connect deeply with Australia's vast and beautiful landscapes. While it comes with unique challenges, it's also one of the most rewarding experiences you'll ever have.
