If you are in the 18-30 age band and fancy a trip Down Under and beyond, this may be your lucky day, as Australia is actively seeking applicants for its Working Holiday Maker (WHM) programme.
Tourism Australia and USIT have partnered up for the occasion, offering a €999 package that includes a one-way flight, visa, and travel insurance.
Work is menial and presumably hard, however, with positions offered mostly for manual labor like farm work, fruit picking, etc. Also, you must be prepared to work in rural and regional areas, rather than in any big city.
