That's amazing. Australia's farm labor is primarily relatively-wealthy vacationers who need a boost while they are far from home?

Working Holiday visa. If you're under 30 it's a rubber stamp thing.
Pay the 400 bucks and you're good for a year.
You can work legally as long as it's no more than 6 months anywhere, and it's pretty easy to get around that.
You can extend your visa for another year if you do 88 days (~3 months) of "farm work" -- doesn't have to be on a farm per se, I know a guy who worked in a hyper-remote rural gas station ("road house").
I worked on a very remote cattle farm digging watering trenches and welding cattle pens. Then hitchhiked across the country.
