If you have been a backpacker then you know that backpacker work in Tasmania can be a saving grace. Backpacking is great fun and it is wonderful to spend a few months or a whole year, exploring new places, having many adventures and meeting all kinds of interesting and like-minded people. But backpacking can be expensive, even when staying in hostels, and backpacking can get tiring. Sometimes it is really nice to have one place to lay your head for a while, to be with the same people for a while, and the biggest bonus of all, is to make some extra money. That is where farm work in Tasmania comes into the picture. Many backpackers in Australia and New Zealand head to Tasmania to travel and find work. Farm work is seasonal and plentiful and all nationalities are welcome.

How to find backpacking farm work

If you are looking for backpacker work I would suggest you find it the same way that I did, even though mine was many years ago. Farmers list their available farm jobs or their up-and-coming farm jobs, on one website. This website is a platform for all farmers to put up listings, and not just for backpacker work but for all kinds of farm work. The work suits backpackers as it is seasonal but it also suits students between or before or after their studies, and it may well suit people who want to find permanent farm work. You can look on the site which is easy to navigate, go through the available jobs and then follow the instructions for the job application. Once you have been accepted for the job all you need to do is make your way to the area when the work begins. There is always plenty of choice with farm work, including working in the fields, working in the factories, picking, planting, packing and more.

Salaries from temporary farm work

Look you are not going to get rich and become a billionaire from Tasmania farm jobs but you are going to earn enough money to carry on funding your travels for a while and you are going to get to meet lots of interesting people. You are going to lay your head downing one place for a while, which is great and if you are working outdoors you are going to get plenty of healthy sunshine and get strong and fit. Some people are more suited to indoor work than to outdoor work but the farming platforms give you all the options. You get to choose the kind of work you apply for and you can go from one job to another. You don’t have to stick to one farm either, you can work on one and then another; the work is all seasonal.

Backpacker work in Tasmania is a fantastic way to earn extra money and to keep travelling for a while.
