Australia: Fruit Picking – tips

If you plan to fruit pick in Australia, you will need to provide a lot of the basic items yourself. Some farms do supply specialised cutters, but if you are harvesting citrus fruit or grapes you may need to bring your own. Make sure you check. 

What you will need:

A hat and good sunglasses

Sunscreen

Gloves

Tough shoes or boots

A small rucksack and a water bottle

Tips:

Make sure you have a good breakfast and lunch.

Don’t eat too much of the fruit, as you may get stomach ache. 

Use insect repellent. 

Stay hydrated. 

Get a good night’s rest.

Load your phone with music to help the 8 hour (or longer) days pass.
