This really is a disgrace...

A young woman I know was heading off to Coffs Harbour to pick fruit for 3 months, in order to extend her working holiday visa.

She was told that she'd have to pay for transport to her accommodation when picked up...and that she'd have to pay for the bucket she'd need to put the fruit in!!

Thankfully she diverted..... to work as a respected and well looked after volunteer for Blaze Aid, in the Southern Highlands.

She's loving it.

Not sure why you needed to open a new thread. The last one I unlocked a month ago.

Oh really?? :cheeky:

Well... I don't think anyone else had realised either! :lol:

You could move these to the old thread?

:D:D
