Program Details

Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime Outback adventure? We're seeking a down-to-earth volunteer to help build steel cattle yards on a remote Gulf Savannah cattle station. You’ll need a bit of English, some building know-how or willingness to learn, and—most importantly—plenty of common sense.

You’ll be camping under the stars, working hands-on in the great outdoors, and living life the way few ever get to. Expect long days, good food, and real Aussie hospitality. You'll get to see parts of Australia tourists never do while picking up genuine skills and stories to last a lifetime.

Ideal for backpackers looking to get off the beaten track and into the heart of the bush. Must be physically fit, positive-minded, and not afraid to get your hands dirty.

Starts ASAP. Duration 4 weeks (or longer if it suits).
Food, camp setup, and good company included.

Keen? Get in touch—we only take legends.


Activities & Shift

cutting and welding steel panels, fencing, digging post holes, carrying gear, and helping around camp.
Work is hands-on, about 6–7 hours a day with breaks, usually early morning to mid-afternoon to beat the heat. Rest time in the cool of the day. One day off per week to relax or explore.

You’ll be camping under the stars, eating well, and living the true bush experience.
