Raspberry Picking
A couple of days ago I headed to the island Tasmania, Australia's smallest state. Tasmania is a place of wild and beautiful landscapes, friendly, helpful people with a relaxed island lifestyle. Over 40% of the island is reserved as national parks and world heritage wilderness.Here, I started my farm work in order to apply for a 2nd year visa in Australia. The first days, of a total of 88 days, I have been picking raspberries in Cygnet, a southern town in the Huon Valley.
The work becomes quite dull after a couple of hours, but it gets compensated by the taste of fresh raspberries. However, it does not compensate for an average payment of $50/day. Therefore, I am going to start an apple picking job in two days, which should be better paid.
