    Bowen is a disaster to get in or out of.
    Fly into Townsville. Greyhound or Premier bus to Bowen.
    Are you planning on going now? It wont be easy getting work at this time of year.
    Your better off waiting until April/May.
    I lived there on and off for 2 years.
    What hostel are you planning on going to?

    That's the cheapest way to get there apart from hitch hiking which I wouldn't advise.

    What hostel is it?
    Must be Aussie Nomads, IV seen them tell so many people about work that isn't there. Most of the other hostels in Bowen font open till May.
    You might get lucky and get a job planting, but ill bet there's alot of people on the waiting list. Best of luck with it regardless.
