Accommodation

Hopefully you get accommodation where your fruit picking job is. Otherwise their is a caravan park in town or a hotel and motel. If you’re driving around it’s always handy to have camping gear.

Not Fruit Picking – What to do?

• Grab a surfboard or boogie board and hit one of the many beaches on the coast. If that’s not your thing just pack some sunscreen, lie on the beach and get an amazing tan for free!
• Check out The Big Prawn, another of Australia’s amazing fascination with BIG things and a huge hit with tourists.
• Hire a boat and take a leisurley cruise around the lake, a great afternoon tradition.

Extending Your Australian Working Holiday Visa

Many harvest jobs will meet the Second Australian Working Holiday Visa eligibility and count towards the 88 days of specified work. Some regional locations and jobs are ineligible which could lead to the Department of Immigration rejecting your application. So remember to confirm whether or not your fruit picking or harvest job will count towards the Second Australian WHV.
