As a nation, we recently held a moving ANZAC Day commemoration. So now is a good time to reflect on how we treat our military personnel during and after their service. It speaks volumes about who we are as New Zealanders.
Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.
Can New Zealand do more to ensure that past, present and future service people - and their whānau – are recognised and supported?

- Weeds still grow on top
- Weed roots snap off when weeding and stay in the weed mat
- Hard to improve the organic matter of the soil with weed mat
as it causes a barrier.
- Labour intensive to lay.
- If planting through weed mat you can drop soil onto it which then can cause weeds to grow on top of the weed mat, defeats the purpose of laying it in the first place.
-Plants planted with weed mat can get smothered and not throw down a good root system

Perhaps you could be a school or uni leaver also looking for a solution to earn money and travel at the same time.
Once that Trans Tasman bubble opens up there are opportunities in Australia on offer. I can now offer a 5 day orientation and assessment, followed by a career option in Outback Australia, with support!
Programmes designed particularly for Aussies and Kiwis. and cover the following
areas;
• General Farm Work
• Developing your Farming Career in Australia
• Working with Horses in Australia
• Skilled Trade Workers
• Farm Au-Pair and Cook
What's involved?
The programme supplies a 5 day introductory programme in South East Queensland to prepare you for work in Outback Australia, ensuring that the essential skills are covered, and giving an accurate assessment to the future employer.
Your profile is then created and linked with an appropriate rural employer. And there are around 2,000 of them with around 60 jobs per week.
Once a job has been accepted, support continues to be offered so alternative employment can be sourced if required.
This programme is a great solution for those who want to travel AND work AND be paid.
This is an excellent option for:
• country kids wanting outside practical experience
• school leavers wanting a career path
• career changers looking for something exciting and interesting
• tradies wanting a guaranteed job
And for people leaving home for the first time, there is the full back up service so that the parents know where they are and that someone is looking out for them.
If keen to know more about this opportunity please get in touch with me today. Carole Go4it Travel
