Hi
Has anyone gone on the harvest trail and how tough is it ?

Did mango harvest a few years back. In the shed - I packed, himself sorted. Not hard to pick up. Not really hard work, though involves standing. Pay was ok. Would not recommend picking mangoes, though, or working in the desapping section. Since mango season starts soon in NT and Kununurra, and is later in Qld, you can follow the mangoes from about Sept to Xmas or later. People with fork lift tickets are often in demand in harvest work.

Gday
There is not only the fruit harvest trail there also is the grain harvest trail which starts on Emerald and finishes in Victoria with Graincorp  . There is also the SA graintrail starts on the west coast and finishes around Adelaide just after Christmas with ABB

Thanks for the replies ,is there an agency that handles the seasonal work if not how is the best way to find work ?

Check my response on your "Soon to be grey nomad" thread. If you're prepared to work you'll get it. Cheers Chris
