Summary
Raised on a cattle station in North Queensland and have worked on several different beef cattle enterprises across Queensland. I pride myself on attention to detail and believe if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing well. Keen to learn new skills and different ways of solving problems. I am a hard-worker who works well individually or as part of a team and don't shy away from long hours. I am confident with and able to handle a variety of livestock and can confidently ride a horse, a two wheeled motorbike and a quadbike. Also have skills in welding and leatherwork and are able to repair and maintain a wide variety of station equipment and infrastructure.
