Hi
Does anyone know of anyone who may be interested in a caretaker how to find out? Maybe their is some directory or other?

We are a couple , 47 and 52 with a 3 year old, long term travellers/web designers. We would like to experience the Kimberlies in the wet season and thought someone may be looking for a break in their downtime.

We are normally self sufficient bush campers with an OKA and tents, but figure that is not a good idea in the wet, and don't really want to head south yet.

We have housesat quite a few times and spent the month of Feb looking after a farm at Narrogin in the south, with 3 alpacas, 450 sheep, 11 cattle, 1 dog.

We don't have a lot of experience but my partner has worked on farms before, he is quite practical and a good bush mechanic. I have an affinity for animals though more often of the domestic kind.

I don't know if an outback station is too ambitious but we thought maybe in the wet not so much would be happening, we are keen to look after whatever needs to be done with instruction.

I usually use housesitting websites but they don't get many entries outside the metropolitan areas.

We would like to hear about other options, like working for accommodation, prefer just a few hours a day as we need to keep our business going as well.

So if anyone knows how to find a caretake/station/farmsit position please let me know.

Thanks Cate
