Feedback from Previous Managers:

'The variety that the role provides. The quiet days where we just get on with maintenance and then the hustle and bustle of a busy weekend. It's been fab.'
'If you have a passion for being outdoors, then that's the highlight of the job. I knew that before applying and it was absolutely true. You are constantly outdoors, taking in the weather no matter what and it's great. The connection with nature, the friendships we make with casuals and co-managers, the laughter and the overall experiences makes it up to an excellent seasonal job.'
