Regardless of the great views, awesome equipment and wonderful opportunities to learn, the fact is that without a salary, this position is not a job. Maybe there is a salary? It's hard to know - but the advertisement is not upfront about renumeration. Volunteer work for scientific institutions, not for profit organisations, NGO concerns and community groups is usually good fun and very worthwhile. Doing the same for a profit making hospitality industry venture is entirely different. By all means volunteer if you have the means or desperately want the experience (getting to know Uluru and it's traditional owners is worthwhile regardless of the night skies). However, do not insult the concept of a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.
