Backpackers Kununurra WA

 

Working in Kununurra


Called the East Kimberley the list of unique landscapes in this amazing part of the world along with the work opportunities
for working holiday makers make this destination a must for any traveller wanting a truly unique
Australian Outback Experience.

KUNUNURRA
Kununurra is a big horticulture area and ideal for travellers looking for a visa extension after 3 month's harvest work. The "Season" starts around May and goes through to November with peak time's being around June/August & October/November. The main crops are melons, pumpkins, sweet corn, mangoes, plus, on-going tree planting. The downside for Kununurra's mangoes harvest is that it happens during the worst time of the year - weather wise - and during what the locals call "the build up", which means that not only does the temperature start to rise but also the humidity. After Xmas when the actual 'Wet' kicks in, its not as bad because you'll get some relief from the rains. Kununurra is certainly in a stunning part of the world, well worth visiting.
