Hello all,
I recently received my W&HV. I have a tentative plan and many questions. I think I would enjoy working on the banana harvest for the summer. I might fly to Brisbane and spend a week there getting my bearings: get prepaid phone card, open bank, call around about job availability in the north, and possibly meet some friends to team up with. If bananas around QLD is a practical idea, then I might take the train up to Cairns.
Questions:
1) What's the banana harvest like this year?
2) Would it be better to just fly straight to Cairns and not bother with Brisbane or the train?
3) Should I get a driver's license and a car? (I heard it helps with getting jobs)
4) Is there a popular website for posting classified ads? Craigslist seems to be under-utilized in Oz.
I think that's all for now. More questions later, I'm sure.
