My name is Luke King and I am looking for an overseer/manager position but I am also open to other positions. I am experienced with sheep and cattle, have my drivers license, Chemcert certificate, own working dogs and am very competent on 2 and 4 wheel bikes. I would also like to have work available for my wife. Unfortunately there is no opportunity to advance here and my current employer is supportive of my pursuit to further my career. The manager is more than happy to give a reference by phone or in writing. Dave McConville can be contacted by phone: 0429 451 208 or email: unityhorse@bigpond.com
