How does a working holiday around Australia picking fruit and vegetables sound? The Federal Government thought it sounded good enough to support the Harvest Trail program, a scheme linking job seekers with harvest jobs all around the country.
It’s seasonal work harvesting anything from cane in far north Queensland, bananas, citrus fruit in Western Australia, to picking olives just out of Melbourne.
Check out the Harvest Trail or call the National Harvest Telephone Information Service 1800 062 332.
