BE A DIVE INSTRUCTOR |
 |
|
Diving is one of those rare occupations in which you can be paid to do the thing you love in some of the most beautiful places in the world. It's a lifestyle most people only get to dream about - Imagine being paid as a Divemaster or Dive Instructor, training people to dive in clear tropical waters, introducing them to the wonders of the coral reef. |

|
BE A BARTENDER |
 |
|
Are you traveling to meet new people and experience new cultures? There is no better way to meet and interact with the locals than tending bar at the corner pub.
Drinking is part of the Australian lifestyle, but Aussies take their alcohol seriously. There are various courses available for bartending and responsible alcohol service. |

|
BE A RANCHHAND |
 |
|
The size and remoteness of Australian cattle stations define the life style. Often the next human settlement is a day's drive away. Ranch hands are needed to keep the cattle stations running day to day. Expect evenings at the fire and sleeping in swags on the ground. Learn to saddle and ride a horse, work the yard, muster cattle, shear sheep and gain stockman skills. |
