About this house sitting position in Blackall

Caretaker Required for Organic beef cattle property

We are looking for a couple to caretake our cattle property, located approx. 30 minutes from Blackall, Qld

A spacious 2 bedroom furnished cottage is available with TV, power, water and beef supplied. It features an established garden and productive orchard.
The property also has excellent Telstra coverage.

In exchange we are asking for two days per week to help with maintaining the homestead garden and surrounds and intermittent checking of stock waters when we are away (this may include weekends). The property features a network of tank monitors and flowing bores which can be monitored by smart phone or computer to help diagnose issues.
Other caretaking responsibilities would include daily feeding of dogs and chooks when we are away.

A small wage may be negotiated along with the provision of the above.

About the property:
Situated only a 30 minute drive from Blackall, the property is on the Barcoo river and runs approximately 30km to the south into the northern edge of the Enniskillen range. This gives access to a wide range of outdoor activities including camping, fishing and hiking.
Note that there are currently 4 full time staff on the property as well. Accomodation is all separate so there will be plenty of privacy.
