Picking bananas in Queensland.
Bunches of bananas weighing up to 80kg.
Barefoot in calf-deep water, rats and snakes swimming around.
First day I had a spider with a body the size of my fist drop onto my shoulder and scurry away. I saw death in its eyes, but what can you do when you have a 150lb bunch of banana on your shoulder?
Oh, yeah; I was earning $64 a day.
