TIRED of the hustle, bustle and bright lights of Sydney? Fancy a change of pace? If the answer is yes, Ruth Sandow has just the job for you - though she stresses the pay is non-existent, the commute impossible and the company simply ghostly.
Ms Sandow is looking for volunteers to spend a week, a month or more working in the tiny gold-rush town of Milparinka, in the remote Corner Country of NSW, some 300 kilometres north of the Silver City, Broken Hill...
Volunteers are needed to meet and greet visitors, persuade them to linger, sell them souvenirs, interpret the town's history and undertake simple tasks, ranging from typing up manuscripts to minor repairs...
Ms Sandow is looking for volunteers - who may range from backpackers to grey nomads - for the cooler, busier period between April and October.
Until now, volunteers have stayed in campervans or commuted from her family's station property, Theldarpa, west of Milparinka. By April, though, she hopes to be able to offer accommodation in the old police barracks' kitchen, which is about to be restored.
