Shear sheeps ?

Just kidding, interesting question though.

I would think different bars and restaurants for younger people.

There's probably a big interest to take care of animals.

If I were going and being in such situation I would definitely work with something that has to do with animals.

variety of jobs are available for immigrants, it is even faster to find these days. you can refer to this site http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...-in-demand.htm for a brief job outline.

there are also trends of traveling in australia. backpacking and campervanning. campervans make it easier to travel the vast ground unlike philippines which is an inter-island country. backpackers can also engage in fruit picking jobs whilst traveling. this helps earn, and or save accommodation

thanks for the link jennychic..

i thought before that australia's major industry is on dairy products, just like new zealand's.. i've read in a column that australia needs more miners and machine operators now.. i jus't don't know how accurate this column is..

2d0k, yes they are needed in australia mostly for foreign workers. immigrants is another subject.

miners and machine operators fall under Trades Persons (referring back to the same link i previously indicated) or here again

PROFESSIONAL workers from Australia and other countries outside the European Union wanting to find a job in Britain will face even tougher restrictions from 2010.

One can work on cruise ships as there are wide variety of jobs available on cruise ships. Cruise ship jobs include hair stylist jobs, bartending jobs, cook, security staff, instructor jobs. Working on a cruise ship is also one of the best ways to work and have fun at the same time. Just imagine being able to get paid while traveling to different exotic destinations around the world. It's truly something to experience.

If you are just on a working holiday visa in Australia and you are looking for a job, you can try a fruit picker..
