It’s all about the Oranges in Gayndah, with many referring to the Region as the ” Orange capital of Queensland”.

Also weather can be wet and damp in some parts of the peak season so make sure you have some wet and warm work gear.   Fruit Picking Work in Gayndah March to September – Citrus November to March – Citrus pruning Fruit Picking Jobs in Gayndah Fruit Read more
