Working Visas - can you go and come back?

If I applied for and got a working visa - did 3 months fruit picking, and then after 6 months decided I wanted to go to NZ, or Europe or wherever...then came back to Australia after maybe another few months or even a year, would I still be able to apply for another visa having only "used" 6 months of the first one?

Second Australian working visa
by: Birgit

From the Australian working visa page:

"If you can prove that you did seasonal work in regional Australia (e.g. fruit picking) for at least three months during your first visit, then you can get a second 12 months Australia Working Holiday Visa."

If you did three month you can get another visa. There is no requirement to spend the full 12 month in Australia. That is just the maximum that the first visa is valid for.
