picking peaches

 

Good news for backpackers - Work for 3 months in rural Australia and you may qualify for a second year working holiday visa.


There are no jobs available at the moment. We will be taking applications from December of this year for our next harvest which begins around 20th January 2009.

Shared Rooms

We have 60 rooms available - each room has two or three 'army style' single beds. The beds have a mattress and pillow, but no bed linen. You need to bring your own sheets, pillow case and sleeping bag. This is not the Hilton Hotel - the rooms are basic but adequate with overhead fans and a small cupboard.

If you stay in our rooms we provide 19 meals per week (no lunch or evening meal on Saturday) for a total charge of $127.30

Our meals have an good reputation and this helps us maintain a stable workforce. Breakfast and evening meals are served canteen style in the dining room. Lunch is provided in the orchard on working days
