CHOOSE YOUR OWN HARVEST TRAIL – A SERIES

To follow a ‘Harvest Trail’ can be a great adventure for individuals, couples or groups.

A Harvest Trail can be anything you want it to be – from a short haul close to your home base, or a long journey which may take months, or even a year, to travel and work right round Australia.

There are no formal arrangements required, no deadlines – just go with the flow.

Join in wherever you are and whatever the time of year may be.

You will find that moving in similar directions to others and sharing work tasks with them will become a valuable life experience.

The Harvest Guide is the perfect place to start if you want to work out your own personal Harvest Trail.

You can download the guide here: www.harvesttrail.gov.au or call the Harvest Trail Information Service (HTIS) on free call 1800 062 332 and request a free hard copy.
