Australia really is a dream destination but unfortunately traveling in Oz doesn’t come cheap. So many backpacker’s choose to do a year’s working holiday in Australia!

I can certainly recommend it!
I would like to receive your guide to the working holiday visa in Australia, I have entered my name and email twice (checked spam, etc) and still haven’t received it. My email is [email protected].
I have been in Australia for about 6 weeks, just in Melbourne so far. I came to Australia to work in the wine industry, my dream was to spend the year on my visa gaining more experience in vineyard/cellar work, but it has proven to be a lot more difficult than I thought to get the right kind of position. Harvest is starting in the next 1-2 weeks for grapes. I have applied to about 20 jobs from backpacker job board, and other wine job websites. I’ve looked into the working hostel situation, there are quite a few in vineyard areas, but like you, after doing some research, it seems like a bit of a scam. I’d actually love to be someplace remote and if possible, work everyday on a vineyard, live simply/quietly with locals for cheap for a few months and save money like you did, but I’m having a hard time finding those type of positions. Thanks for this post, it has been really helpful!
