Hi there,
I am a documentary filmmaker (Australian) who will be travelling the top end in February, 2005. I am looking to travel with someone who is prepared to help me with my work in return for the transport etc. I have a fully fitted out 4wd and boat and will be travelling up the QLD coast, right up to Cape York, across to the Gulf country, over to Kakadu and Arnhem Land and across Northern WA to Broome (about 3 months to here) and eventually down to Perth and back across the bottom of Australia (8 month duration approx). I will be filming in many locations, including Arnhem Land, where I am friends with the traditional elders of the area.
This is not a paid job, but rather an opportunity to see the best Northern Australia has to offer in exchange for helping me out. The vehicle is a reliable late-model Landcruiser camper with cooking facilities, Fridge, UHF radio; in fact it's got everything you could think of, even computers and a TV. The boat is aluminium with a roof, sounder, vhf radio, epirb etc. and I hold full Aust. licences for both the vehicle and boat operation.
If you are interested in this opportunity please let me know. I would prefer somenone who is well spoken and presented as you may be asked to narrate from time to time (royalties basis). You must be easy-going and enjoy the outdoors. I am a 35 year old Australian guy with a lot of travel experience. During this trip, I will be making an environmental production, a fishing film and a surfing movie in North West WA. As such, there is always something to do. The successful applicant will of course be included in the credits of any production they are involved in and will have the ultimate momento of their travels in Australia; their own commercial DVD!!! If you are skeptical, and I know I would be, check out some of my websites. Try http://www.realdealmultimedia.com or http://www.stockfootage.com.au.
Regards,
Steve.

Default Interesting opportunity to travel australia

Hello Steve,
Just found your message about the documentary your producing. I've just finalised my travel arrangements to Aus to do a spot of travelling and think I could help.

I've some technical and mechanical knowledge and can handle just about anything due to my armed services background. I'm also fairly presentable.

Commitments wise. I've just quit my job as a business advisor here in North Wales to take some time out before starting my own business. However I'm not in a hurry to return and I'm looking for a new opportunity.

Send me a message if you'd like to talk. Paul
