Picking jobs are probably one of the most popular jobs amongst backpackers and seasonal workers, the work that is carried out is extremely labour intensive and will leave you ready for a good few beers at the end of the day! The work is normally carried out on you own or in pairs and can invlove climbing ladders, kneeling for long periods or crawling through plants. The pay is not the greatest and is related to the amount of crops you manage to pick. Your total yield will be weighted and you will be paid on the day. In many regions hostels will arrange work for you and provide transport to and from the location.
