Want to gain some valuable work experience as you travel? Check out the following organisation:
Visitoz
Visitoz’s programme is offered in conjunction with a one-year Working Holiday Visa to Australia. Perfect for travellers aged 18-30, with a love of country life and a willingness to get their hands dirty, Visitoz (in operation nearly 20 years) offers meet and greet at the airport, one night in a Brisbane hostel to meet the rest of the group, bus to Rainbow Beach and three days to chill out with some sun, sea, sand and surf for jetlag recovery. A five-day stay on the training farm includes riding horses and motorbikes, working with cattle, driving tractors, using chainsaws and learning Aussie fencing skills, vehicle maintenance and lots about farm and outback safety. During this time participants will receive job offers and on the 9th day will travel to the job they’ve chosen. It’s a great way for gappers to work and play their way around Australia. Visitoz starts every Thursday, has 1,800 employers and no traveller has left without a job to go to (www.visitoz.org)
