Australia Outback Ranch Training

Programme Details

Spend time in a part of the country that most travellers will never get to visit. This will give you a fantastic insight into the real Australia and the famous ‘outback’ lifestyle.

Your days will start early allowing you to enjoy the tranquil peace of the early morning with a quick breakfast before heading up to the farm to start the activities. Some of the outback activities that you have the chance to do include:

• Quad biking
• Horse riding
• Mustering
• General farm hand work such as fencing and driving tractors

There will also be time to go on bush walks and simply relax and enjoy the tranquility of the outback!

There are two options for this programme depending on whether you would like to take part in paid work after your farm training or whether you simply want to learn some new skills and have fun for a week. Call us to discuss your options for this fun and unique programme!

Option A - Outback Ranch Training Week and Paid Work
Upon arrival into Australia you will spend four nights in Brisbane where you can catch up on some sleep and explore the local area. You will also have time to set up an Australian bank account and get an Australia Sim Card arranged for your mobile phone. Once at the training ranch you will try your hand at a range of jobs and activities to prepare you for up to 12 months working in Australia. We have work for horse riders, motorbike riders, tractor drivers, carpenters, joiners, builders, anyone who has lived on a farm, agricultural students and veterinary students - basically anyone who is willing to get their hands dirty and have the experience of a lifetime! Please note: Positions during the Australian summer months (December and January) can be limited due to the heat and stress on the stock at ranches. People seeking work at this time may be offered employment with horses, not just ranch work.

Option B - Outback Ranch Training Week
Upon arrival into Australia you will spend two nights in Brisbane where you can relax, soak up the sun, and go sightseeing. You will then be transferred to the training ranch where, amongst other things, you will have the opportunity to try your hand at driving a tractor riding quad and motorbikes, using a chain saw and mustering cattle. There will also be the opportunity to go on bush walks and learn about the Aussie outdoors.
