That's a cool offer for your very important and symbolic 556th post.
Is there a period of time you're taking applications? 24hrs? 30min? |

The Australian Customs Service will NOT be amused. Then again, last time I came home from overseas they just waved me through. The key is to declare something - chocolate works well - because otherwise they X-Ray your bags. One of my friends brought back a replica pistol. That was interesting for him to say the least... |

How hard is it to get a Visa? I don't even have a passport, but I would love to go there. Any restrictions? Can you describe the job duties, local, employer, etc?
My interest is piqued. |

Get a passport then go to aussie consulate/embassy and get visa. Very simple. Cost is cheap maybe $100 or so? |

www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/462/index.htm That looks like the one you want. You'll need a HS diploma, a return airline ticket and proof that you have $5,000 in the bank, a clean criminal record, US Passport, that's about it. |

i'm definitely interested.. i'd need a passport, g/f would probably need to renew hers? otherwise i know some people from Brisbane, looks like its quite a distance from Tasmania, but if you offer time off and some benefits, this job would easily top my current job and i'd get rehired when i get back. i'll be the judge of the hiking thing, i love hiking the shores of the Great Lakes in mainland USA, but the lure of other travel sounds great.
i will PM for more info. |

If they dont have $5000 in the bank a letter of employment will be enough. Plus most people just borrow $5000 and then give it back to the person when they get here

$AU. A busdriver makes average $850 per week or around 400 quid british. So 500 quid a week is just above average before tax. |

I believe the work travel visa limits you to working for the same employer for only 3 months.
You may want to look into this. |

Got you beat. I work 5 days-on / 5 days-off (12 hour days). Work in a data center in IT support and the pay is pretty good too. The shift work is tough, fair amount of stress and there is a lot of work to do. Pretty pooped by the time the shift is done. But there is plenty of upside I suppose. I'll soon get 4 weeks of vacation, and have 8 holidays (to use as vacation), and 1 personal day. What's nice is I only have to tack on 2 days of vacation to an off shift and then I'm off for a week. Sweet.

Too much gun control and way too big of a pay cut (less than 1/2 my normal pay).
But, If it weren't for the gun control I would consider it to see Austrailia. Plus I'm around 40. |

Some of the young people here should take you up on this, you learn alot by traveling in foreign countries. I know I did. I am too old and too married to do this.
I would love to come visit that part of the world. |

How many visas do you give people who are non-skilled tourists of any age? Your visa laws are at least more restrictive than this. |
