Remember The southern hemisphere sun is much more intense than the northern hemisphere and you can do a lifetime of damage to your skin and eye's if you're not careful. In Australia, the term slip, slop, slap, has been coined to remind us about the sun's danger especially when working outside.
Western Australia
Western Australia is free of many plant and animal pest's and diseases and has strict border controls.
When travelling in Western Australia, or in fact any Australian State Beware of any service run by bureaucracy, both government or private. Government run services are probably the worst but the rule of thumb when dealing with any business run by functionaries i.e. not owner operated, is, it's generally going to be a "f... up", (Scuse my french). Click here for an example of what we are alerting you to.
Beware, dodgy employers, worker hostels and bogus employment agents ... but don't let yourself become too paranoid either
Employment Agencies are not only required to be licenced but also to follow strict procedures including disclosure of all details of the employment being offered including employers name
Beware of misleading or outdated work information.
The biggest source of misinformation concerning Working Holiday Jobs often comes from other travellers, but some traveller websites offering work information can also be woefully out of date
Buyer beware
Don't get 'sucked in' to buy things you don't need ...
