Often I hear that Australia is the richest country in the world, and that you should go there to make good money!
I want to disclose the truth!
Most of the farm workers are fooled, and will be stuck for months in a same place working 4 days a week for an average of $Aud650 a week
Farmers and backpackers hostels are exploiting them as a Mafia who rules the city.
Banana farms...
Most of them use the asian workers as slaves to achieving business goals that are their million dollars companies...
Plus they will not respect the Earth by poisoning banana tree with gasoline to promote new stem growth!!!
False image.
People tend to be happy! But in fact they go through a lot of struggle by eating cheap food when paying huge amounts of their small wages to stay in backpackers hostels.
You finally arrive in a place where you can find a job, will have to wait for more than two weeks in a $Aud200 accommodation before to get your first job. Then, you will be able to work for an average of 3-4 days a week to pay the first 2 weeks of accommodation and food.
Being stuck...
At the end of the month you will only be able to start saving money, but here we come!
-Public holidays are in an enormous amount in Australia.
-Working the weekend for farmers is not considered as extra.
-Farmers do not care about giving you a decent wage.
After a month of work, you will start spending money to enjoy at least a bit your life. And you better not be a smoker or a drinker here because taxes are really high ($Aud15 cigarettes/$Aud45 bottle of alcohol).
Rethink twice before engaging you in that kind of experience...
Months will fly before you could expect being on the road again!!!
