Are you eating a bowl of mushed up bananas as you speak in this video? I'm impressed.
-
funny guy, made my day :D... I am heading to AU on working holiday, I think banana farm is the best choice of all the farms, exactly your position I am aiming for. Takes some work of course, but you don`t ruin your back, and the farmers don`t seem to exploit people...
-
Talking with your mouth full is very rude
-
I'm in Cairns now desperately trying to find work. Regular work, farm work. Whatever! Where else is there to stay in Tully that doesn't require 300 bucks?
-
Hey I'm really considering going to Australia for bananas lol. If you could send me an email at cdiaz191@gmail.com . I'm trying to leave within the next two weeks. I would def appreaciate it
-
I'm wanting to work in Tully, staying at banana barracks or hotel tully. What's the likely hood of getting a job at a banana farm? How long was you employed for?
-
Why do people dislike Tully so much?
-
I guess that means my context is awkward since I am the one speaking another version of your language (bloddy hell govna, lets have a cupa tea!), enjoy your time in tully, the first few weeks will suck, but the place will grow on you I promise.
-
I did not know about the bananas only being fertilizer, as much as Tully can suck it grows on you. Its kinda like going to war. It sucks so much, but it sucks for everybody, so you make great friends.
-
Hotel Tully has less rules, and does not try so hard to take your deposit away, I knew people who stayed at the banana barracks and were happy with it, so do what you gotta do. "Birdies"? where are you from Thom Allen? Your spelling and grammar are good, but your context is awkward and says to me that you are a none native English speaker? You will take home about $640 a week. If you are a humper (carrying bunches) you will walk through spider webs all day, plus see lots of snakes.

well, you portrayed your colleagues as nut jobs and wierdos, so the hideous comment wasn't referring to people's appearance, but rather odd behaviour. I used to live in Cairns and I met many people who had 'escaped' Tully, so it isn't a place I plan to visit soon. FYI did you know the bananas you harvested were the 'Cavendish' variety (pretty much the only commercial variety in the West) and that these were used only as fertilizer prior to the 1950s?

Who is hideous? Your entitles to your opinion but I (the host) am thought to be reasonably attractive by most people I come across in life. Of course everyone is out to sleep with people, life is more fun when you have a buddy. Their isn't much else to "do" in Tully, there are two bars that everyone goes to on Friday and Saturday night. Are you heading their to work?
-
omg you poor thing! These people are hideous. Especially the singing Asian dude. I'd have to sleep with people to make my life interesting. What else is there to do in Tully?
-
Hell not Tully

Your welcome. That is peak season and a rainy hot time to be in tully, but their will be lots of jobs to be had. Tips. -Wear Nylon, no cotton, board shorts and a soccer jersey, or running jersey. NO COTTON, it will always be wet and uncomfortable. - Dont live at the banana barracks, its way more expensive then hotel tully or the caravan park. -Their are lots and lots of creepy crawleys, if you have an issue with that stay away from Tully. Any other specific questions? Jeff
