Life on a tomato farm in Australia | A true backpacker job

Yes, I know. I always told myself I wouldn't do it. I would work as a picker of some sorts. I guess as a backpacker you have to keep an open mind and embrace which ever comes your way. So yes, we did it. 3 months of tomato picking. I will let you decide if it is truly as bad as they say !

    Cool--I picked close by in Gundagai in 2001. Looks a lot easier now than back then---ten guys in one room with hard bunk beds---was great though--met my wife there and still together nearly 20 years later.

    some advice--wear washing up gloves that go to your elbows or otherwise cut the end off long socks to wear on your arms--the tomato leaves will make your hands and arms stain green and takes forever to wash off. Did this for 8 months solid in Gundagai, Bundaberg and Ayr. Hardcore but made some great friends back in 2001. We didnt have chairs like that--just crouching down and walking along!!

This could determine when it is best to arrive to Aus Thanks a lot for sharing!

    I think you can do them anytime but go onto the Australian immigration website or you can call them to find info. You're gonna want as much info as possible. You may not get a great job, it's best to have some money saved so you don't have to rely on your wages which can be very low. Sometimes they won't pay you for weeks and there's nothing you can do! Have fun.

Kudos on getting to travel while you're able to enjoy the one time experience of doing hard human labor and never having to deal with those negatives I heard about in another post online...bad employers not providing for migratory workers and charging them money up front.. I have learned much from your documenting your experiences...thank you.

    The pay is clearly not great when you think of the long hours put in (otherwise the place would be full of Australians), the work is boring, back-breaking & repetitive and the desire to get a year 2 visa is the only incentive for most of the people interviewed in that field.I'll give it a miss thanks.
