Radeka Downunder Underground Motel

19/10/2026

SIGNWRITER WANTED — OUR SIGNS ARE COOKED. LITERALLY.
RADEKA DOWNUNDER MOTEL — COOBER PEDY
The Coober Pedy sun has been absolutely flogged our signage.
The colours have faded, the signs are looking like they've survived a nuclear winter, and vinyl? Forget it. Vinyl melts faster than an ice cream in the car park.
We've decided it's time to call in a professional before our motel signs become eligible for archaeological preservation.
We're looking for a signwriter who works with PAINT. Actual paint. With a brush. On a surface. Like the old days.
No vinyl. No stickers. No fancy stuff that turns into a sad, bubbling mess the minute summer arrives.
The mission:
• Bring our tired, sunburnt signage back to life.
• Give Radekas a bit of colour, character and personality.
• Use paint and finishes tough enough to survive the outback.
• Ideally, have a sense of humour. You'll need it working with us.
We're an underground motel. Our rooms are cool, our humour is dark, and our signs are currently auditioning for the role of something found at a crime scene.
We need someone who can make us look fantastic without the finished product spontaneously combusting.
Must be tougher than the Coober Pedy summer.
Must work with paint, not vinyl.
Must be comfortable working for people who think this is a perfectly normal job advertisement.
Know a talented signwriter who can save our signage from its impending heat-related death?
Tag them below!
RADEKA DOWNUNDER MOTEL
Come underground. It's the only way to escape the heat — unless you're a sign, in which case you're on your own.

⚡ ELECTRICIAN NEEDED ⚡

Dear Electricians,

We have an electrical fault at Radeka Downunder Motel.

The lights occasionally flicker, things trip when they feel like it, and somewhere in the building a wire is probably laughing at us.

We've checked the obvious things:
✔ Turned it off and on again
✔ Stared at the switchboard professionally
✔ Used several colourful Australian words

Unfortunately, the fault remains undefeated.

So if you're an electrician who enjoys a challenge and likes solving mysteries more than Netflix detectives, we'd love to hear from you.

📍 Radeka Downunder Motel, Coober Pedy

Reward: Payment, gratitude, and the chance to utter the famous electrician phrase:

"Ahhh... there's your problem."

⚡ Please call before the building decides to invent a new fault. ⚡

🎉 WE FOUND OUR CLEANER! 🎉

The search is over.

The interviews are done.

The dust is nervous.

After an overwhelming number of applications, we're happy to announce that we've found our new Housekeeper at Radeka's Downunder Motel.

A huge thank you to everyone who applied. We read some great applications, and discovered that quite a few of you are apparently experts at folding fitted sheets (we remain sceptical).

To our new team member: welcome aboard! We look forward to introducing you to our underground maze of rooms, our amazing guests, and our long-running feud with Coober Pedy dust.

To everyone else, thank you again for your interest. Keep an eye on our page—you never know when another opportunity might pop up from underground.

Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to tell the dust it's been officially outnumbered.

12/06/2026

📢 UPDATE: We're Sorting Through Applications...

First of all, thank you to everyone who applied for the Housekeeper position at Radeka's Downunder Motel.

We've been carefully reviewing applications using our highly sophisticated recruitment process, which involves:

✅ Reading resumes.

✅ Drinking coffee.

✅ Reading resumes again.

✅ Arguing over whose turn it is to make more coffee.

So far we've learned:

• Some people have 20 years of housekeeping experience.

• Some people have no experience but excellent confidence.

• One applicant listed "professional napper" as a skill.

• Several people appear to be running from something and have chosen Coober Pedy as their hiding place.

We're working our way through the applications and will be in touch soon.

In the meantime, if you haven't heard from us yet, don't panic. We're underground and occasionally operate at the speed of an opal miner looking for a vein.

Thanks for your patience, your interest, and your willingness to help us keep the dust at bay.

— The Radeka's Downunder Motel Team

And just a short journey away? Your base at Radeka Downunder Coober Pedy.

Sleep underground. Wake up to adventure.
Fly over the lake. Explore the red centre. Then come back to total silence and comfort beneath the earth.

This is the kind of trip that turns into a story you tell for years.

⚡ Limited time. Rare conditions. Unreal experience.

Don’t just scroll past it — come and see it.
