I started Ringers From The Top End (RFTTE.com) in 2007 as a Facebook Group to find old mates I'd worked with on Carlton Hill cattle station: Longfella (aka Loose Pizzle), Hank, Woody, Tiny, Turtle, Rambo, Burner, Big Luke, Fast Eddy, Mick, Mitch and Rut.
I found more mates than I'd bargained for! The group now has over 330,000 followers across FB, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter - and over 65,000 subscribers to the weekly jobs newsletter.
I built and started the RFTTEJOBS.com business full time in mid 2019 (and began trading as a company RFTTE Pty Ltd in mid 2024).
My time at Carlton Hill in the East Kimberley was a formative one, and one that I think all Australians should experience for a season or two... or a lifetime.
I am passionate about creating awareness in helping people find employment on cattle stations and the rural industry in general... and I'm very proud that 1000's have done so over the years via RFTTEJOBS.com.
People from around the globe come to RFTTE FB Group not only to find a job, but get advice for working on a station, to have a laugh, find old mates, to share advice, post photographs and video of their experiences and lots more, so come and have a chat at RFTTE.com
You can also learn about how RFTTE was named and the back story in the Hooroo News Blog.
