Farm Workers Available Now

Farm work in Australia is big business and Bunbury Backpackers knows all about it. If you need work done, we can help find a worker ready and willing to help and many of the backpackers have skills that can be utilised by you. Bunbury Backpackers do assist for free with introducing you to reliable labour, the completion of tax forms and inductions etc. saving you from the time-consuming recruitment process. The use of backpackers as workers has become so successful in Australia that in 2016, the National Farmers’ Federation estimated that backpackers constituted about 25% of Australia’s agricultural labour force. Growers say it is much higher for seasonal harvest jobs. We can also assist with transport to ensure that your labour demands are met reliably and will do our best to assist with labour even at short notice. Please phone me at any time for further information.

“Tai Chi does not mean oriental wisdom or something exotic. It is the wisdom of your own senses, your own mind and body together as one process”

Chungliang Al Huang

Health benefits are derived from the slow, gentle and tranquil movements which enable harmony in mind & body, improved mobility, suppleness and mental alertness.

Anyone, regardless of age or level of fitness, can practice and benefit from Tai Chi.

Tai Chi 9.30am Every Tuesday at the Harvey CRC
