Ch 35: Do You Know Where Your Fruits Been?

If you`ve ever had fruit from Australia chances are it was picked by an English backpacker. They are the apparent "immigrant" population that ends up doing alot of the manual labor in the land of kangaroos and koalas. And they happen to be good at fruit picking, or at least willing to do it at a price below the willingness of the average Australian.

I didn`t believe this when I met my first former fruit picker but over the past month we`ve met countless backpackers who made good money doing this- at least good enough to get through China and Southeast Asia for a few months. So the next time you have fruit from Australia take a moment to contemplate it`s juicy goodness AND all the dreams of backpackers it has helped to fulfill.
