Hi Everyone,

I will be looking to go Shepparton to find a job. Everyone said a working hostel can be a good idea as you make friends there and can also find a job.

Can anyone recommend any good Working Hostels in Shepparton?

Hey people,

I just arrived in Sydney and I’m in a big need of a van. I got $3000-4000 to spend.

Just send me a message and we can discuss further.

Hi Everyone,

I’m looking at getting a Van to travel around Australia, follow the Harvest Trail and see what this great Country has too offer :)

I was thinking of going to Shepparton first, but if I can find a van cheap van I am willing to change my plans if their is harvest work in that region. Currently I reside in melbourne.

If you know of anything for sale please respond to this thread.

Best of luck.

Hi Everyone,

I was looking to travel the Great Ocean Road but was wondering whether it’s better to wait for summer or to just go now during winter. Also did people hire a car or take a tour?

Great Ocean Road is great year round, but definitely better in the summer. If you have the opportunity to go now I definitely would, especially if there’s good weather about :)

Hi all, Being a backpackrs hostel we get 100’s of  people asking and looking for work.

I have added the below details to the fourm to help people understand how our hostel sources people for work. Visit http://barossabackpackers.com.au/work if you need more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I come when the job starts?

Because we give jobs on a first come first served basis; if you arrive the same day the job starts, there is a good chance someone else is already here waiting for the job to become available. It is suggested you come at least 4 days before a job starts.

Can you guarantee me a job?

In Australia no one “guarantees” jobs. Guarantees come with toasters not jobs. Please be wary of anyone who guarantees you jobs as it contains a high possibility of being Fraudulent.

Can you reserve a position for me?

Unfortunately in the past we have reserved positions and the guests never arrived which caused problems for the contractor.  Due to this occurring we do not reserve positions for anyone.

The job starts on (x) date can I arrive a week later?  

Sure, please come to our hostel, jobs come up here and there all the time. The job you are applying for would unfortunately be more than likely filled. This is because;

The contractor needs to get his work done by a specific date
There are many other backpackers who want the same job as you so there is a high chance of the job being filled.

I am in (Sydney, Cairns, Melbourne etc) if I fly to Adelaide will the job still be available?

How quickly can you get here? There are many other backpackers who are also looking for work to get there second year visa. Sometime we have people prepared to wait 1 – 2 weeks till work starts, sometimes there is nobody on the work list and you can start straight away. It depends on the situation.

Does this job count towards a 2nd year visa?

Yes, all farming work in the Barossa Region counts towards your second year visa.

Do I need experience?

No. Most jobs you will need two arms and two legs . Farmers are looking for hard workers. For Pruning season we offer  training courses to help you get started with Pruning.

Great this job sounds fantastic what do I need to do?

Visit http://barossabackpackers.com.au/work and read the terms and conditions very carefully.

Hi

 

We are a couple – Male 30 years old and female 22 years old. We are both hard-working and active people who are looking for farm/regional/fruit picking jobs in Queensland to qualify for a 2nd year visa.

We are in Cairns at the moment so we are available for work asap!!

We would like ideally like to work on an hourly rate if possible and have accommodation onsite or close by to the farm as we do not have our own transport.

if anyone has any work please contact us!!

 

Thank you

Dan and Joanne
