Ayers Rock Resort

I worked for the five star hotel in Ayers Rock.  I never felt less appreciated in a job in my life (I've worked for several resorts in Australia before), It felt like the effort I was making everyday for serving customers was all in vain. They didn't motivate us, instead, we would be told off even if some of the people (including me) were working very hard.  They even told us the general manager had decided that we didn't deserve a Christmas party because of our performance (they did it in the end but apparently even the people who were working hard didn't deserve it either).  As I said, working for the restaurant in Sails in the desert was not good, the most of the servers were girls some of us short and thin and the amount and weight we were pushed to carry should be illegal.  I still have some back problems because of that.  Once I told one of the managers I couldn't carry more weight that night because my back was hurting and he said that was nothing, that he had worked in places worse than this one (I can't think of anything worse coming from a "5" star hotel).  What I found in management (except 1 or 2 people) was a lot of misogyny and no assessment (they feel like kings and they treat you the way they wanted to treat you).  No appreciation for hard work, overwhelming attention if you made a mistake.  If you want to save money, it is a good place because there is nothing to do.  I wish the whole resort support more outdoor activities, cultural activities, etc. instead of drinking alcohol.  If you work here, I'd recommend working for a different hotel within the resort.

Landscaping at the Campground typically involved watering plants, shrubs and gardens in the morning, maintenance of lawns and irrigation systems and construction of features around pools, bars and cabins.
Training for Cert II in Horticulture was delivered through Charles Darwin University for two days on a monthly basis.
The hardest part of my job was dealing with the heat which would reach mid 40's on some days but we dealt with it by having regular drinks breaks and cooling vests that were stored in the cool room.
The most enjoyable thing about working in a resort in a remote area was meeting and interacting with international guests from all over the world and hearing stories about how other people from different countries lived their lives.

+
* Can learn many skill from various department when do casual job.
* Meet Various people from different backgrounds.

-
* Housing will not care about your complain at all, so it can be really mentally draining when you have to live in share room with people that not compatible with you. ( This one maybe a bit subjective )
* Some department don't really care about your WHS at all.
* Food outlet and groceries price in here pricier compare to city ( can be up to 1.5x), if you can't cook it will be quite hard here.

Tips from me if you have to live in share room better come with someone to live with you, it will be much better for your mental health because housing don't really care about that. And a lot of noise especially in the area of share house at night so it will be quite disturbing sometimes.

Good place to work, food a bit expensive but with rent and electricity subsidised it does not make much difference to me. With housing there are some issues but again you have issues with real estates as well so again no big issue. 
The main thing is to realise that you are isolated from everything in cities. But they provide a lot of activities here. Lots of chances to make friends but has small town mentality, so there is gossip. 
We do have blackouts and internet drop outs so have to be prepared with powerbanks for mobile devices. Satellite internet works good out here plus can take with you.
Big thing is it is a great opportunity to save money, lots of challenges, chances to make good friends. 
If you love a challenge then go for it. 


I enjoy working in this area but i am also looking for other areas to work in, i'm current doing my Certificate 111 in Education Support and have previously completed my Certificate 111 in Children Services, i also have my first aid, working with children check and police check. I also worked in a 5 star hotel in the NT and completed my eco lab testing. I also help out my mother in her Family Day care from time to time.
I enjoyed working in the Northern Territory but it was such a remote area i missed home too much, i did not mind cleaning rooms and being sable to talk and engage with the guests, towards the end i got tired of having to do the same thing everyday. But overall it was an awesome experience for me.

This job was both great and hard, dealing with mostly international customers it was quite challenging at the start. However, the team always managed to help and understand that the communicational differences was presented. the efficiency of the job is what i personally loved about it. The sense of happiness and willingness of each team member was refreshing.
