liamh Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi Liam & Becky here, we are new to the forum and this is our first post. We are heading over to Australia in September (only 56 days to go) on WHV's and looking for some help and advice. We are looking to complete our 88 days / 3 months regional work as soon as possible to get it out of the way and then be able to extend our visa for a further year. We are happy to do any kind of work fruit picking, planting, farm work whatever is available and are willing to travel anywhere. We are hoping to save some money whilst we are doing our regional work as it seems to be pretty good pay in some areas, from my research wages can be up to $1000 per week, this would give us more chance to travel afterwards. We are hoping to have work secured before we leave so we can start straight away. Could anyone help with suggesting good places / companies to work for that offer good wages and accommodation. Any info, advice, contacts or leads would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritChickx Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 www.taw.com.au is a good site, you have to pay for membership but all the backpacker/2nd year work is advertised here. Also goworkabout.com.au and they have a fb page too. and take a look at gumtree and the government job website - all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamh Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi thanks for the info. Is it worth paying for the membership or do you think using gumtree and the other free sites is just as good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 my boyfriend signed up and had got several jobs through it (one lasting about a year) but he didn't look all the time, so could have got more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
