Atherton Tablelands region (posted 8/7/09)
Our names are Tim and Di Forsyth and we own a small business called Dingo Seat Covers. Our web site is www.dingoseatcovers.com.au.
We have recently moved from Weipa (at the top end of Aussie) and have moved to 3 acres in Tolga-the Atherton Tablelands.
We would welcome Grey Nomads with knowledge and experiencing of using heavy industrial sewing machines ie. furniture manufacturing, motor trimming etc. Our work load varies from day to day so employment would only be casual (very!) We are very busy and therefore are unable to train anyone. We work from our bottom shed
on three acres tucked under Mount Emerald. We do not have any onsite van facilities but fully self contained rigs are welcome to set up in a quite corner of our property. Walkerman, Tolga and Atherton all have carravan Parks. We have a family of 2 primary school aged children, 3 dogs and enjoy meeting new people. Please email Tim and Di at di@DingoSeatCovers.com.au for more information.

Central Queensland (posted 2/3/09)
We are a young family with 4 small children on our own cattle property close to Baralaba CQ. There is a reasonable amount of mayhem and madness given our workload and our childrens ages. We have a 3 bedroom cottage and shed space for a caravan that we can offer in return for some help around the property ie gardening, supplement and water runs, babysitting. There is a myriad of things to do both on the property and in the local area -  water skiing, quilting classes, lots of other nomads in the area over winter.  We are open to almost any negotiations and would welcome all enquiries.  So if you are brave enough to be part of our world give Shell a ring on 0407 400 955.
