Current vacancies
Commercial Cook
Housekeeper
Restaurant Team Leader
Wait-Staff
Are you calm and friendly, efficient and attentive? Then you’re the sort of person we need to look after guests at breakfast, lunch and our special Stonegrill Dining Experience and Country Classics dinners.
Reservations Consultant
You will be the first voice many people hear or the first face they see when they want to book a holiday, experience or accommodation with us. Your friendliness, professionalism and outstanding customer service will form their all-important first impression.
Bus Driver
We’re seeking an experienced bus driver to transport guests to and from our experiences. You’ll be a people person who enjoys entertaining and providing interesting facts and anecdotes throughout the journey. If this sounds like you, please enquire below.
Boat Skipper
Can you entertain our guests with commentary as you skipper them safely on our sunset river cruise? You’ll be telling the stories of our historic paddlewheelers and their role in the outback. We will train you in the details but your natural enthusiasm will help create an experience our guests will remember. See the position description for licences required. If you can also drive a 57-seat bus that is an advantage in our small team.
Stagecoach Driver
Entertainers (Old Time Tent Show)
We’re looking for performers with a good sense of visual comedy, the ability to improvise and the confidence to handle our trained animals (trained to RSPCA standards). You’ll also be responsible for backstage tasks and for giving other support for our guest experiences. Share the old time traditions and send our guests away with big grins on their faces!
Entertainer (Campfire)
This is a special role and a highlight of our sunset cruise. With guests gathered for dinner around the gidgee-wood campfire by the river, you will inspire them, educate them, entertain them and make them laugh with your own unique brand of traditional bush entertainment. Your passion for the outback and your own bush stories are more important than performance training. Our guests want to meet an authentic bush character.
