Harvesting, picking and packing in bucolic areas is a great way to earn money fast and spend it slowly - which is often hard to do in cities. 
However, pay rates are not always surety as you will constantly be paid a ‘piece rate’, per load / bucket / cart you fill. 

The amount will vary hinge on how fast / efficacious you are, weather conditions and the abundance of the crop. In annex, hours of work cannot be guaranteed. 

Bad weather estate, early or late harvests and oversupply of workers can oftentimes mean work is not available as expected.

The fruit picking life can be a great emprise but it certainly isn’t for the weak spirited. You will need to be fit to put in some ‘hard yakka’, as most of the work will be carnal, and at times backbreaking and fatigue. 

The hours can be long, startle as early as sunrise and often not ending until sunset. Many farm jobs are in negligible locations, so don’t expect to walk to the  nearby cafe on Sunday morning for a coffee and a bacon roll. 

Parcel can be a few hours drive from the nearest town, be prepared for a life in the bush!
Farm and harvest work takes you to tiny and remote country towns.
