>> JOB OF THE MONTH

AUSTRALIA VARIOUS
The Visitoz Scheme. Website: www.visitoz.org 

We have rural jobs in Australia for anyone who has a Working Holiday Visa and is looking for a challenge for up to one year. Sheep and cattle stations, farms and rural hospitality enterprises cannot recruit staff from the local Australian population - because there is nothing for them to spend their money on. This is ideal for backpackers because they can save all their money, to spend it later on a good holiday on the Reef, exploring, or doing the 1001 other things young people like to do with surf, sea and sand. All jobs are paid at the Award (Union negotiated) wage, food and accommodation are also supplied free of charge. We particularly need: good horse riders; machinery drivers, ie. tractors, dozers; teachers; hospitality workers of all sorts; cooks and chefs; farm workers; and anyone ready for something different who would like to learn some new skills. Contact Visitoz in the UK on wdtb@aol.com or in Australia on visitozscheme@bigpond.com
