Sorry for being unclear, my main worry is money. I have enough to get me to Melbourne and for the first 2 weeks rent/food. I just don't know what are the chances of someone employing me for only 8 weeks. I was trying to get my 2nd year visa by doing the farm work but I have collectively been in Bundaberg for 4 months (left for a month over Christmas and came back), so I have wasted a lot of time and money here for nothing as I have only done about 20 days farm work altogether.

I'm currently staying at East Bundy backpackers, great hostel but there's just not enough work. I have been doing roughly 2/3 shifts a week varying from strawberry planting, weeding, ginger washing and sweet potato packing. The majority of the backpackers are in the same position. The only problem is money and time. Will cares/restaurants want to employ me when I'll only be there for 8 ish weeks??

Hi everyone, my name is Bonnie I'm 21 years old and am a British backpacker. I am currently stuck in Bundaberg doing my regional work, I'm not getting enough shifts to be able to save any money, in fact I'm losing money as I the rent is higher than what I am earning! I have 8 weeks until my mom flys out from England to Melbourne to meet me for 3 weeks until we fly home together. I would love to up sticks and leave Bundaberg to Melbourne ASAP and get a full time job for 2 months to be able to save as much money as possible before my mom arrives. I don't know how possible this is? Any advise would be grand as I really am in a rut at the moment! thank you, Bonnie
