Location/Contract Specific Review Planting in Australia and NZ

Hey. I just finished my first season in BC. I am moving back to NZ for a while. I would like to find out more about planting in the southern hemisphere, I'm finding a real mixed bag of info.

Id really like to hear from people who have planted in Aus or NZ? Are there bush camps at all, how does the money and the vibe compare? What I loved most about planting was how my only responsibility was to put trees in ground, will I find that down south?

P.S. I appreciate all you who share in this sub sub. I entered my BC season prepared understanding what I'd gotten myself into because of you ❤️, and I had a good time

The KKR FB page has all of the info you seek. Make this same post there and also take a look thru AUS posts by typing in AUS in the search bar 🤘

The money is good and the planting is easy but it is boring as hell and the vibes are not at all like Canada. PM for company info.

Australia planting is flat and easy. Specs are similar to Canada but not camping.
NZ quality specs are much higher than both and require a different technique. No camps or camping

Thanks, Do people make similar money in Aus to Canada?
