Perthbum Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Backbreaking with little pay, and you get sick of he fruit you are picking as you eat so much of tthem......I hate lemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Depends on what needs harvesting in the area at the time. Check the WHV section for tips and info on regional work and what's available when. Bear in mind some states are more popular than others and more people competing for the casual work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Not much fruit left in Melbourne- all wall to wall houses now. You would have to go further out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the ones in Silvan and Eltham! Unfortunately you won't get anything closer to the city in a rural post code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
