- As we travel the world overland in our Land Rover Defender camping car we are always on the lookout for new experiences. When the opportunity arose to work for a few weeks during the cherry harvest in Donnybrook Western Australia we took the offer.
Not only was this an exciting new adventure it was also an opportunity to save a little extra money to help us continue our journey and the videos 😊
We had such a great time picking cherries on Russo Produce farm and met loads of awesome people.
Working outside amongst the cherry trees was a beautiful place to be and we'll remember this period of our lives forever.
Stephy put a lot of hours into filming and editing this video, we really hope you enjoy it ❤️🙏

Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.
😳😳😂😂 what's funny and amazing is that there are different nationalities 🤣🤣. That was so special and a wonderful moment working with such beautiful souls.I should have been there
It was such an amazing experience meeting you guys and picking cherries together.
This video is awesome you've really captured the positivity and energy that we shared ❤
Awesome Jak. I was excited for you to watch it! Thank you for your incredible positivity !
Thats why there is the CZcams. I love this kind of content 👍🏻
We really enjoyed the video, so interesting. Fantastic guys, Mum and Dad ❤️👍❤️🍒🍒
Thought you'd like this one ❤️
Yes this is the perfect job for the backpacker, to get some money 💰 💰💰
Ha ha love the mushroom burgers 🍔 brilliant
I am 70 years old and would love to do this just for the experience. Don't need the money that bad, but life is always an adventure and enjoying working and making new firends is always worth it. We travel the Country in our Motorhome enjoying the different cultures, people and jobs.
You could definitely go to any of the farms and do a few days work 😉
Thankfully for farmers the Scott Morrison backpacker tax was found to be illegal by the high court, and allows great travellers like we see here the ability to enjoy the best experiences of their lives again.
Thanks for sharing this experience with us. Great to see young people from all over the world earning money and helping the farmers collect their produce.👍🙂 The cherries look delicious.
A really lovely update, seeing so many different nationalities picking our 'fresh' food is great.
I love the focus on the people! Looks like a great mix of lovely people!
This is what we love to do. Focusing on people where ever we are in the world. 😍
@@GrizzlyNbearOverland yes that is why I like to follow you over most of the other channels ❤️
Yesterday I was watching an talk of another overland couple. They had a great story about how one of the worse days turned in a great day because some curious kids and their parents.
Then the questions came...... All about safety security, bad diesel, if you can get "safe" food etc etc. Not a single question about the travels or people etc.
People and experiences are the most important!
that was a mind blowing experience, working with different nationalities
Used to be a picker in the day,l am a senior these days and travel in my old Land rover county around Australia and always enjoy meeting greeting them pickers in the free camp spots.
Wow ,coolest job ever with the yum 🍒
this is half an hour from where I live. It's beautiful country.. The overseas Backpackers lifestyle has been badly disrupted for 2 years and they are really important for these local growers. Hopefully the madness hasnt scared them off permanently. Looking forward to when they all come back in better circumstances.
Fantastic video, very interesting and cheerful!
I really enjoyed that!
Cherries look healthy and clean. But funny are bird nets. We don't have that in our country. I hope you had a healthy snack.
WoW seeing that net wiz takes me back. Spent lots of hours fighting with nets over grape vines on then off. We covered 4 rows each pass, lots of posts and old vine canes to get hooked in and always very hot weather. I was feeling your pain working in the heat. I take me hat off to you all.
C'est bien de connaître des voyageurs.
Interesting!
Very nicely done great work on the farm thanks.... thanks for the adventure excellent work thank you for the 🍒 cherrries
Having done that work myself I know how hard it is. I take my hat off to all the pickers !! And then working in the parking shed just as hard. You meet some great people 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 great videos guys, And little lady great camera work 👍
Fantastic guys!!😘❤️
Gee! You guys great around. Never know where you will pop up next.
Always random stuff ! haha wait for the coming up weeks. might be interesting.
I love to watch your adventures. Reminds me of when I was young. Stay safe my friends.
I love this side of long time travel (so long you are fit and young) to discover new people and sometimes new friends, now I prefer only to travel 😁. Thanks to share it with us!
That was really COOL!
Always good to do a little manual labor. Stay safe and healthy.
Great video thank you . Always love to see an Australian farm.
When number of viewers go down you have to work like the other guys from Europe! Good to see you work again for a couple of days! Now she can take a shower without you filming her!
Actually it was 3 weeks , the time of the harvest.
As I sit here watching the freezing fog out the window in Oregon this video is making me miss summer. The morning sun hitting the fields at 11:00 in particular.
Super cool Video again! I like it very much.
looks like hard work, but the characters look like they would make the whole process fun. Can't wait to get on the road!
Merci pour ce partage ! Très intéressant de voir comment ils enlèvent les filets !
Very interesting experience and even more interesting is camping next to a cherry farm, thanks for sharing
Beautiful people!
Good on you for doing that, I remember picking peaches and oranges as a kid, bloody hard work and with peaches don’t touch your face the fuzz omg it was itchy … but what an experience to look back on…
Good to know. Thanks if ever we have a peach job one day , we will remember.
Worth every penny I spent for a bowl at Xmas.
Le temps des cerises!!😂😂 Belle expérience, tout le monde avaient l'air trés sympas et heureux, ça fait du bien, merci à vous!!🤩🤩
Merci 🙏🏻 C’était une belle experience pour nous qui nous a fait beaucoup beaucoup de bien dans une période un peu difficile.
@@GrizzlyNbearOverland j'espère que ça va aller mieux pour vous, l'équilibre affectif est peut être plus compliqué en voyage, belles relations mais éphémères. Je vous souhaites tout le bonheur possible, même si ça passe par une pause, vous nous régalez depuis si longtemps!!!
thank you for the video
Some real characters!
Great video guys . ❤️
This is amazing ! Washington state in US has a lot of cherries. Come by anytime 😉
Maybe one day we can be cherry picking in US
@@GrizzlyNbearOverland yes! There are so many amazing places to visit, come explore , ( and try our famous Rainier cherry) 😊
Brilliant video, thanks.
This is where the guys come second to the women!
Absolutely! No guys even came close to the ladies 😉
great experience and story
😅👌👍 like it 🍒
Lovely video. I wish im young and not meeried to go and pick the cherrys.
Cheers. 🍺&🍷
Do you remember the Show from Discovery Channel Dirty Jobs? If I ever, ever have the opportunity to travel the world, I have thought about knowing what people do for living and do it, choosing what not to eat is a luxury, my grandma said. Fascinating Cherry picking story. If you ever, ever visit Costa Rica during Beans Harvesting season... ¡¡PURA VIDA!!
Yay!
Great episode guys. Such an awesome insight into cherry-picking! Looked like bloody hard work. What was Stephie doing shaking the camera in the back of Ute though when she was filming the unloading of the Ute in the shed?
Hard work, job well done 👍
Yip, that's what normally happens when you need money, you work.
This was a second job mate. We've been working full time for 5 years making CZcams videos.
Maybe you don't consider this a job but I see the 40+ hours Stephy puts in every week to create these videos.
We absolutely love our job and are very proud of what we create.
Mmm I want 🍒 🍒 🍒 now !! I'm pleased there was no cucumber picking yuck lol 💚
Met many backpackers who don't want to do this traditional backpacking job any more to make money to carry on travelling. An OF account or " dancing ;)" seems so much easier and faster, not so easy for the guys though.
Génial mais alors, combien est payé la caisse de cerises ?
10€
ok ok. Pas mal :). Bravo pour votre voyage. et tout le reste !
Great video and what an experience. So what the pay per crate ?
$17 per crate. Average hourly rate was $34 / hr.
Some of the fastest pickers were earning $50 / hr
I have 20 cherry plants in my orchards... in Pakistan Northern Area HUNZA VALLEY
Maybe one day we can come to help you pick them ❤️🍒
@@leighdearle5965 most welcome ❤
Hunza is one of my dream destination, because Im from Europe. Hope, one day I will be here.
Most welcome brother 💞💞
Can you guys add some info on where you can online to apply for these jobs. I'm thinking of quitting my high stress mining job and going to work for someone who appreciates what their workers do.
Last time I picked cherries I averaged 2 boxes a day at $13 per box. Anyone who thinks this is easy is clueless.
So how much did you get payed can you tell me please
$17 per 10kg crate. Depending on speed the hourly price was from $30/hr to $50/hr.
I have to stop watching you guys since my memories I was having in down under are all coming back.... So when you will be leaving Australia ?
Our temporary import for the vehicle is 12 months, possibly extending another 12 months.
I need money too...................................
people who work as slaves for looking a visa but 90% will never arrive! Australy never go on vacation
Australia is far away from slavery. Some farm jobs pay $50/H .
Looks like a bunch of gap year Europeans filling a labor void and suppressing wages for the locals. Don't give me any grief in comments because this happens in the USA also. If fields rot due to no cheap labor to harvest, farmers pay more to the harvesters, thus I and you pay more for our produce. I know it would cost more yet we would now better understand the cost to see if it is a viable product for the region.
Thanks to Brexit there’s no migratory produce pickers for harvests here in UK so lots of food goes to waste, the Brexit knuckleheads just say ‘get the locals to do it’ 🙄🙄, short of forcing them by gunpoint the only way to do that is to pay them a lot of money but joe public expects low prices for food so the supermarkets pay the farmers peanuts. 🙄🙄
Half of Australia is pulling pints in pubs in London so tit for tat.
Such a stupid and naive comment.
This cherry farm is not 5 miles from a big city, from which people would come to pick cherries.
Across all of Australia are many types of foods, and other products that are grown etc.
In most cases these farms are in rural areas, far away from any big populated towns or cities.
There is not a local population who would be the seasonal work force.
And I stress the word seasonal, as often the period of time whereby things are suitable for picking etc, is a short period of time, once or twice per year.
And different things are suitable for picking at different times of the year, across the whole of Australia
( which is a huge sized country )
This means that the owners of these farms etc, need a lot of people, but only for a short period of time, to pick their particular produce.
The tourist / backpacker community in Australia would normally be hundreds of thousands of people at any given time.
And these people are spread across all of Australia.
Some of these people do travel around and get work at various farms, when the particular produce, eg cherries is ready to pick.
They work for a period of time, earn $$$ and then spend $$$ when they go and travel to different parts of Australia.
Due to Covid, during 2020, most of this tourist / backpacker group of people returned to their home country.
Across all of Australia, many industries were then left with a huge shortage of workforce when the time came to harvest their particular item.
Many industries had well over 70 % of their produce go unpicked and it rotted etc
Farmers etc battle drought / fires and the elements.
A successful picking of their produce is hugely important to them for financial reasons.
The huge lack of tourist / backpacker people in Australia is still ongoing.
There is not a sufficient amount of people from various towns and cities etc who are able to go and do this work.
Since Covid began, travel within Australia has also been extremely difficult as individual states have closed their borders to people from other parts of Australia.
Bottom line is that Australia benefits in a massive number of ways by having a constant huge tourist / backpacker group of people spread across Australia, and who are transient and travel to all parts of Australia.
Without these people who have not been in Australia for nearly two years now, due to Covid, this farmer who grows cherries is just one example of many thousands of rural people who have suffered huge financial losses in the last two years, as a huge portion of their product etc, has not been able to be harvested etc
In many industries, Australia always has a constant labour void, which has been a lot worse without backpackers during Covid.
These backpackers / travellers are hugely important to fill massive labour voids, that constantly exist in Australia.
These backpackers / travellers are most definitely NOT stealing away jobs from locals, OR suppressing wages that locals should get.
Australia does not have enough locals to do these jobs.
And, as I said, Australia is a huge land mass, and sparsely populated, except for a few major cities on our East Coast.
Most of these farms etc are far away from big population centres, so there is never a large group of people living near these farms anyway.
@@StephenFogarty2023 Economics. Raise the wage to the rate at which someone is willing to do it otherwise the position remains empty. Your backpackers are doing the job for cheap relative to a citizen thus suppressing wages for citizens. "These backpackers / travellers are most definitely NOT stealing away jobs from locals, OR suppressing wages that locals should get.". Were there no back packers, wages for local citizens would rise enough to attract labor to complete the job. Would food costs increase, most definitely and maybe they should to reflect the true cost. Higher wages for locals (more spending power by locals), higher taxes on wages (more spending by government), higher food costs (more judicious purchases by consumers). We have a much worse situation in the USA than you have but the economics are the same.
@@Jabber-ig3iw Don't pay enough to harvest , no labor, no harvest, no food, food that is there is expensive, can't afford it, gotta earn more to afford it, wages rise. Pay good wages from the start and the nasty cycle doesn't begin.
