My 18yr old son wants to be a jackeroo,. can anyone advise how to locate work out on stations,doesn't matter what state its in.
He has no experience but is fit and is a fast learner.

any information would be appreciated.

Garry , try here for a start http://www.jumbuckpastoral.com/, they are always hiring and I have heard are pretty good with there staff and have properties all over aust.

Did you see this one? Says some experience, but not what that may mean. If your son is a quick learner and they are short on applicants it may be enough to get him . http://jobs.careerone.com.au/texis/jobsearch/details.html?id=48bdc8b548d13e0&company=The+Weekly+Times Jo

I will put a link at the bottom, but there is a school in Emerald, Qld, for just that. I started to search it down, but found this link, which you may wish to explore.

I have met the young people from the Emerald College, it is unisex. I came away with a very good opinion of their maturity. I can find out more if you like.

Thanks for the advice.
Son rang up this morning he has interview for Army on 1st Oct. Being ex military myself I think this is a better option , might install a bit of discipline into him.
Will keep in mind your advice in case he changes his mind ( was accepted 12 months ago but didnt take it up) or he doesn't get in.

thanks

I agree fully with the forces option, the jackaroo lifestyle can be harsh, I have heard a lot of bad stories, a lot of good ones as well, good choice I think, he will come back a man, and the comraderie is beyond compare
