The Harvesting Trail

For many backpackers from around the world, harvesting and fruit picking offers them an opportunity to combine seasonal harvest work with travelling around Australia.

It offers:

• an opportunity to keep fit and maintain one's sense of wellbeing
• an opportunity to mix with the locals and immerse onseself in their culture.
• the golden opportunity to travel and see Australia while working and earning money.

Harvest workers usually work in pairs or teams. The nature of the work can be repetitive and tiring and demands great physical effort. Generally, work placement is dependent on having own transport and accomodation.

However, it is a fantastic opportunity to experience Brisbane and Australia while working and earning some money.
