Working on an Outback Station
Working on a Outback station will be a once in lifetime experience, some of these stations are the size of a small country like Belgium, you will get to see and do some amazing this, but be prepare for isolation, danger is always just around the corner, encounters with weird animals and deadly ones too. To get to work on one of these wonderful stations, will require some ground work. The right times of year will be different for each state, but there is plenty of maintenance around the stations and work around the house to consider. Just do some leg work and you will be happy you did if you land the right one.
