Backpackers in desperate search for casual work 背包客急尋臨時工作
Farmers across regional Western Australia say they have never seen anything
like it as hundreds of backpackers flock to farm-gates looking for work

The number of backpackers undertaking agricultural work in order to stay
longer in Australia has jumped by more than 25 per cent in a year and it
appears to be linked to the economic downturn in Europe.
為了能在澳大利亞逗留更久一點,從事農業工作的的背包客人數在一年內大增了超過25%
,這似乎與歐洲經濟低迷有關。
While most of the backpackers are English and Irish, the most rapid increases
have been among continental Europeans.
雖然大多數的背包客依然來自英國和愛爾蘭,但是其他歐陸國家的人數才是增長最快的。

Like them, hordes of young backpackers work in farms and orchards to help
fund their journey.像他們一樣,很多年輕人在農場和水果園打工賺錢來資助旅程。

We've met a lot of Italian people who say the working situation in their
country is very hard and that's why they want to stay here, or even move here,

"Wages in Australia are some of the highest in the world, I mean our workers
are some of the best paid in the world,"

"So to be able to come to Australia and do pub work or fruit-picking work and
get paid more than what you would do if you could even find a job in Europe,
seems to be the main attraction."

是澳洲的主要吸引力
