★Would you like volunteers to help with everyday chores? A retired couple wants to contribute in any way that can help. We worked with BlazeAid, a volunteerbased organization, in the last two years, but want to stay away from the coast this year. We have owned a small farm in Victoria for 20 years but now live in the town. He is a good handyman for most jobs while I am an accountant. We are available from 10th to 28th June. The perfect arrangement is to provide power & water connections for our caravan (可供居住的拖车). Please contact Noel & Sue Hutchens on 0427543001.
★We will be leaving Brisbane and are looking for work. We haven't set a destination and just prepare to go wherever the work takes us. Below is a little about us and what we have experience in, but we are happy to try anything, especially picking. My husband's name is John, 57 years old. He is fit and has experience in the fruit & vegetable industry. We have our own selfcontained caravan. Please contact John on 0419670602.
★My name is Carol and my partner is Allan. We are travelling around Australia and looking for short or longterm work as Motel or Caravan Park Managers. We both take pride in our work and are very interested in the hotel industry. We are nonsmokers and consider ourselves friendly, honest, reliable, flexible, enthusiastic, quick learners with a willingness to learn more and a desire to deliver outstanding customer service. Please contact Carol on 0438822295.
★We are a happy and healthy couple experienced in caretaking of caravan parks and are looking for shortterm caretaker roles in Victoria or New South Wales. We have a fully selfcontained caravan and a tiny pet Chihuahua. Please contact Clyde on 0407510690.
