Couple Currently Working (updated 23/6/10)
We presently have work until October 2010 and will notify when next available. My husband and I are middle aged. We have a life style place of our own so consequently we are not able to travel until the winter months due to the fear of fires and the need to take care of our own garden. Jon is a handy person who can drive a tractor, operate a chain saw, maintain small motors, ride a motor bike, repair fences etc. I am a registered nurse. I can cook, garden and we have both done fruit picking. For the past two years we have picked plums in the UK. I believe we are good all rounders for most jobs, and if we haven't done the job before we can certainly learn new skills. If anyone has a job for us during the winter months please email us at jpurkiss@activ8.net.au or give us a call on 02 6723 0207.
