    Hi Matt, I was wondering if you could help me clear up some doubts. I'm going to be moving to Australia soon on the WHV, and my plan is to work on a solar farm when I arrive. Cheers mate, great video btw!

    Hey Matt just subbed! Me and my partner are in aus looking at starting our farm work. Don't suppose you could share any information on the location and how to apply? As we could travel and start asap :) great video, and cheers for your time!

      Hello, thanks for the sub! So we are in a town called Chinchilla and the solar farm is called Western Downs, but as you’ll see in our next vlog it’s not going great haha
      The farm has flooded and we haven’t been on site for 2 weeks! So I can’t really recommend this farm at the moment.
      I would say go on seek and indeed and search solar farm labouring, it’s a great place to start.
      I hope this helps!
