ive only been in the territory for 15 months but during the season there is at least a pilot a week asking my work for a job mustering. i was one of them.
the 300 hours big russ talks about also includes getting to know the station owners, earning their trust (ability to make them money) so they might fork out that $400 per hour for YOUR time.
i do the tourist thing, not as much hours a season but still not bad either, plus it's 8 to 5 not dawn till dusk. yes i have been mustering quite a few times and the FUN definantly wears off after a (
) while.
