Claudia Queale

As a jillaroo at swans lagoon, I had the amazing role of performing tasks on a beef cattle farm such as feeding, mustering, moving and assisting with animal husbandry. Most of my time included being on horse back or a motorbike. I also carried out various roles such as yard work, cleaning troughs, molasses runs, fencing, water runs, lick runs, general maintenance of machinery and fixing minor issues throughout the station. I also had the amazing opportunity to be a carer for unfortunate calfs who needed tender, loving care.

At Somerset dam, I cleaned holiday resorts before and after customers had spent their holidays. My role would include setting up the storage trolley with the essentials, cleaning bathrooms and restoring products, cleaning kitchens, vacuuming and mopping, and restocking shelves with fresh sheets ready for the next jobs.

At this job, I played the role in feeding, grooming, medicating and maintaining the general health and requirements for dogs. It was my purpose to make sure they had access to clean water, clean environments, meals twice a day with medication if needed and outside time.
