[QUOTE="Happy hillbily, post: 7355020, member: 3475"] I went over in 1999. Arrived in Sydney and after a week i needed to move on. I had a cousin in perth and a cousin in Brisbane. So flipped a coin and went for Brisbane. Had a few jobs through the hostel, mostly cash in hand labour jobs. Didn't have any ag contacts in Oz so did the visit Oz scheme. Ended up on a sheep and cattle station 400k north of Broken Hill, ended up.doing a lot of work with a motor grader. Took the train from broken hill, to Western Australia, got chatting to this old guy in the smoking cart on the back of the train, ended up on a pub crawl around Kalgoorlie when the train stopped there. worked for John Nicoletti as a combine driver, with a couple of lads from Somerset, Had an orphans Christmas with the kiwi truck drivers from John's transport company, and spent the millennium at a small rodeo somewhere with a couple of bottles of Bundy and a few of the truck drivers. Moved on to Perth to see my cousin, was odd jobbing it there. Eventually built a house with a school teacher. Went from Oz to New Zealand for a month to see the replies, and did a quick tour of the South Island on the Kiwi experience, my only regret was not staying in NZ longer and working there. Pete tell your lad to go for the full 12 months, not just for the harvest, with a good work ethic, there are plenty of jobs out there. A mate of mine went in 98 just for the harvest, ended up working on the construction of some of the Olympic infrastructure for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The internet these days had made it easy, plenty of websites / Facebook etc advertising work (well in a non covid year). If he's interested in the us. There's a Welshman from north Wales in Kansas called Hughes Harvesting, he's on Facebook . [MEDIA=facebook]110845473803/posts/10159312201528804[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
