And covid brought me home lol. The government ceased all work visas just as was reapplying as mine was near the end and literally made all immigrants leave
Yeah that's true and that's a real shame!

Would you return if you could?

I'm 33, but they changed visa rules for Aus allowing 2nd and 3rd visas without the need to do 90 days farming.... I lasted 3 weeks, I did strawberry picking...soul destroying...I ended up just eating the strawberries in the end and they pay you per bucket $5!!! Then I did grapes which was hourly paid and better, but seasonal so only so many days you can do..... So yeah could go back for couple of years of I apply before my 36th birthday, see what happens
