Depends highly on your host family: Daily work in some, almost no work in other families.
Excursions
Spontaneous trips with your host families. They usually try to fulfill your wishes, if they are reasonable.
Young Farmers/Rural Youth:
Well organized all through Tasmania, split up in 8 different regional sections.
Food
Lots of vegetables, pumpkin, potatoes and meat.
Communication
English and "Aussie-Slang"
Other
The highlight is the AG-fest at the beginning of May, a big agricultural show that's organized through the Young Farmers organizations. You'll be helping to set this up for a whole week, and meet lots of fun and cool people. Aussies are very spontaneous, nothing is really planned - "no worries". Temperatures are between 10-20°, houses are poorly insulated and usually have only very poor heating.
