Hi, That's a bit worrying it seems that some people must not be taking the jobs serious and spoiling it for the others. I am in my late 20s and have a more mature realistic expectations of the work on farms. I worked in catering in my early 20s and now work in construction so this has installed a good work ethic in me and if complained about scratches on my arms or having to clean something I would certainly be released of my job in the near future from making the complaints. So hopefully I will be able to get my self in situation were I can stress in more detail what I have said in the above. After reading your post I have decided it may be best writing a strong cover letter and emailing this to as many farms as possible. Do you have any up to date contacts you could give me it seems that you are well in the loop?

Hi everyone I arrive in Brisbane in December this year and am looking to obtain a fruit picking job intailly and as soon to arrival as possible. So I've done countless Google searches on the fruit seasons and regions which has only really give me some breif knowledge of the different seasons and not much more really. I've also started contacting working hostels and farms and the one's that have replied are very vague with the answers to the questions I've asked I'm guessing it's because it's still a number of months till I arrive. So after Google searches and a couple of online posts and a few vague emails returned from working hostels I was thinking of heading north to the banana farms as I've established this is harvested all year I'm quite strong and hardy so I think the job would be o.k even in the heat or rain. Anyway so after reading all the above can you give me any advice, links, contacts or anything even if you send me south not north any advice at all just generally on gain work on arrival would be a huge help. Thanks people ?
