OK this is not an exaggerated story all i tell you is true........... we decided to go fruit picking as we were broke and what better way to make money for back packers, well this place was out of this world.. OK we arrived and it seemed OK a big enough yard then we entered it was tin shed which were our bedrooms no sheets to cover the stained mattress and no pillow case for the dirt brown pillow....... the bed was either chip wood plank or springs which nearly tipped the floor....... oh ya the room was about six ft by ten ft. we were shown the kitchen one fridge between 25 of us, two rings on the cooker worked, but the best was by night the place was not only covered with ants but night Beatles and other bugs which moved super fast across the work tops yuckkkkkkkkkkkkk

the lovely ladies room two toilets both no locks on the doors and only one with a seat, two showers between 14 of us with lovely brown curtains,,,, and by night the frogs if they did not join you in the shower the watched from the window. the dinning area and TV room was OK plenty of channels once you did not mind sharing the torn smelly couches with the cockroaches....... so ya finally work for 6/7 hours and make about 30/40 dollars and breaks your back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so be care ful where you go i am now in stanthorpe and all is clean and sooooooooooooooooo much better and we have work so from hell to heaven things are begining to look up......afters this no work just fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
