The Harvest Trail around Australia

Following the Harvest Trail in Australia

If you have a valid Working Holiday Visa or Student Work Visa and a Tax File Number with at least three weeks availability, (Workstay recommends at least three weeks or ideally more) if you are reasonably fit (bending, climbing ladders, long hours standing, all-weather), then you will probably consider doing some kind of horticulture work during your Australian travels. Average agriculture working week would consist of between 40 to 48 hours (Remember: Horticulture work can be subject to change without notice). The average hourly rate of pay for Horticulture work is currently between $15 and $20 per hour. Many fruit picking jobs are paid at piece rates - also called "contract" - which allows you to make better than the average hourly rate once you've got your speed up.

The Harvest Trail Website

What is the Harvest Trail website well it is Run by JobSearch:  It's Australia's largest free online jobs board. It is funded and operated by the Australian Government as a free service to help assist job seekers into employment and connect employers with quality staff.

The Harvest Trail covers.  Harvesting work all around Australia from grape picking in Berri to Mango picking in Darwin. Each year thousands of people are looking and finding casual work on fruit picking orchards and farms all around Australia, helping to bring in the fruit and vegetable harvests. Farmers are always looking for extra hands to help with the crop and around the farm even helping the wife with the kids. The hard bit, especially for overseas working holiday makers (with the right visa), is finding out when and where workers are needed.

That's how the Harvest Trail helps by linking job seekers with harvest jobs, Australia wide. It offers a great way for people to travel around Australia at their pace while working and earning money.
