How many positions are available?
For 2011 we had 35 positions available to start in July in Margaret River. Positions will be filled on a first come first serve basis. Typically positions fill quickly and we cannot guarantee you a position if you do apply late.
When can I start?
Margaret River starts the first week of July, however as this is horticulture work, it is weather dependent.
What work will I be doing?
All positions starting in July will be pruning work on vineyards in Margaret River. After this time work is available on banana and mango plantations and various other fruit picking positions as demand requires.
Who will I be working with?
You will be working with a mixture of fellow travellers either just starting off their Australian travel plans and those coming to the end of their year. There will also be horticulture students, both Australian and from all over the world. There will be anywhere from 20 to 100 people mostly between the ages of 18 and 30 working on the same vineyard as you, so conditions will be sociable and you will meet a lot of people.
What is the pay like?
Pay rates start at A$17 (Australian Dollars). As you are paid on an hourly rate you will need to meet a minimum speed of pruning. If you fall below this minimum pruning speed then you could be moved to another job or let go.
You will also be eligible for 9% Australian superannuation (pension) contribution on top of your wage. We will assist you to set up an Australian fund and introduce you to a company who can transfer this home for you.
