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
