Most of them have finished mustering for the year but there's still a few that are doing the last rounds.
But its going to be fucking brutal branding weaners in 40+ degree heat with 1000% humidity. You have no idea, trust me.
ut theres also the run of the mill stationwork, fencing, flood fencing, repairs, new fences, machinery work, yard building, maintenance etc etc.
Come march/april, mustering work will pick up. You want a job somewhere with quiet cattle. Unless you're a rare cunt who loves adrenalin. Feral cattle are more fun, but the injury rates are rediculous.
Can you ride a 4 wheeler over scrub, ant hills and rocks at 60km an hour? Because that's what it is. You'll flip 4 wheelers weekly unless you're super good or a little bitch.
But yeah, put yourself out there and it'll work. It's an amaxing experience. You might need to apply for 50 jobs before you get a start, but someone will give you a go.
If you have a trade or relavant skill you'll get ajob easier. Maybe go work for a rural fencing contractor out in queensland or the top end. Good way to show you have what it takes, and a great way to make contacts.
Also, $130 per day, food and keep included, is a bloody good wage for first year. You might not get it, but if you do count yourself lucky.
12-16 hour days are normal, 6-7 days a week during mustering is expected.
But if you can handle all of that, you'll have the best time. Being chased by bulls is a great experience. Check out Bull Fighters Only. That's a more showy form of what you might have to do with feral cattle. Also, check out some videos of youtube of bull catching. Don't expect to e doing it straight away. It literally is life and death, especially if you're throwing them on foot rather than tipping with a bike.
But throwing your first buill is better than the best root youve ever had.
