[QUOTEEDIT: feel free to PM me for more, I'll meet you for a beer and tell you stories that will make you want to get on a plane in 30 minutes.[/QUOTE]

Yes, you can Pm me as well if you want. I did the same thing. 12 month working Visa in AUS.

I travelled the whole coastal route, Sydney to Perth and from Broom (Awesome town!!) to Townsville and all up the East Coast.

Picking fruit is seasonal, i can give you some places and the times of teh years the fruit is in season. (Try to aviod picking grapes if you can it's really freaking hard to make money at it, picking pears, plums, apples etc can net you some decent $. I was making $1200 every 9 days (cash) and only working 6 hours a day.

I would suggest you stay in a hostel in Cougee Beach in Sydney, I stayed in the hostel above the McDonalds beside the Cricket field (Surfside I think was it's name) and yes if you work there you will get your room for free)
