Job description

Clermont, Qld – Start ASAP, long-term – Cattle property caretaker – Paid position

A family‑owned cattle property around 71 km north of Clermont, Queensland is looking for a reliable caretaker, ideally a couple, to stay on the property and keep an eye on things.

As no one lives permanently on the block, the owners are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible and stay for as long as possible.

Couples are preferred, although suitable singles are also welcome to apply.

The role

The duties are straightforward and include:

• Feeding and caring for an elderly cat
• Checking stock water points
• Looking after the garden
• Keeping a general eye on the property
• Reporting any issues that arise

This is a caretaking role rather than a heavy farm‑work position.

What’s provided

The property provides:

• Water
• Power
• Ensuite bathroom
• Washing machine

Applicants will need to bring their own accommodation, such as a caravan or motorhome.

Access

The main road to the property is bitumen, with only around half a mile of all‑weather road leading into the house area.

Who they’re looking for

The ideal caretaker will be:

• Reliable and trustworthy
• Comfortable living on a rural cattle property
• Happy caring for an older cat
• Able to work independently
• Practical and observant
• Interested in a longer‑term stay

The previous caretaker stayed for an extended period and was reluctant to leave, which gives a good indication of the relaxed nature of the arrangement.

This could be a great opportunity for a travelling couple looking for a long‑term paid caretaking role, with very light duties and a quiet rural base in Central Queensland.
