anything to pick in august fruit picking?

(u. k.)

Stupid question probably, sorry! Is there anything to pick at the moment in Queensland, August, 2011, our son needs to work 12 weeks in agriculture to extend his visa, if there isn't anything at the moment, does working on a reserve count?

Thanks very much

If he cant find paid work and really wants his second year visa he can join this program.

There is a Hostel in Prosipine which could have work for him, he would have to ring them.
