In need of any advice on best jobs to get just to get by in aus..
Hi i fly into Cairns in feb 2010 and will be travelling around australia with 3 of my other friends for around 10 weeks, finally flying out of Melbourne in April.
I am going to be pretty skint i think by the time i get to aus as i am going to asia for 10 weeks before hand so i will need to find work in each place I go.
Im not too sure of the route im going to take to get from Cairns to Melbourne but has anybody got any ideas of the best jobs to do that I can just do for a few weeks, get abit of money and then move on???
If the opportunity came up I would like to stay in one of the main citys for an extended period of time if I could find a job that could support me, e.g work in melbourne/sydney for 3 months then go home if i choose to.
I have lots of office experience, but I have also worked as an electrical labourer so dont mind getting my hands dirty!!!
I just dont really know what sort of jobs people can get whilst out there? Are there places that have things especially for travellers? Ive heard fruit picking is a good job to earn enough to keep you going.
The aim is to stay in aus for aslong as possible and hopefully make it a permanent move if it all goes well!
Sorry for the essay! Any help would be really appreciated!
Cheers!

For information on what they call the Harvest Trail - this Australian government
website has a lot of information. Download the attached publication, it is an excellent resource.
The most used job search tool within Australia is either CareerOne or Seek - these are better for city based employment.
