Answer 1

We have some German backpackers wrapping furninture in bubblewrap and helping us transport it (we are truck drivers) via a work agency, some extra money for while they travel around the country. Not exactly a highly skilled trade.

Contact the embassy, It can't be that difficult. We have many holiday maker/workers here, just doing labouring jobs or as you mention, picking fruit. (during the season of course)



Those germans are on AU$20.31 per hour, casual rate. d**n good money if you ask me.

Answer 2

In an Australian visitor visa, you may be entitled to receive public health care (Medicare) or any other social security benefits and a maximum of 3 months study but does not allow you to work in Australia. You may see requirements and conditions here http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/visitor/...

About a working visa, the Australian skilled visas allows applicants of ages 18 to 45. You should have applied for a working visa instead of a visitor visa.

"In order to qualify for most kinds of skilled visas, applicants must have either university or trade qualifications. There are some exceptions in a small number of occupations, where substantial work experience might suffice. The relevant Skills Assessment Authority will assess all certificates and work experience skills."

I really do not think you can.  Work visas for Australia require higher education and high-level work skills.  You can read the visa requirements at the site below.  You definetly cannot work while there with a visitor visa.
