Grape picking in Pokolbin (postcode 2320) counts toward your 88 days.

Answer: Myth

Home Affairs' regional list skips 2320: NSW's ranges jump from 2311–2312 to 2328–2411.

Check the farm's postcode before you start

2320 is on the bushfire and disaster lists, but those cover recovery work only. Fruit picking needs a regional postcode; NSW's other regional ranges include 2420–2490, 2536–2551, 2575–2594, 2618–2739 and 2787–2898.
