Wanna work with this guy?
The South Australian government is attempting to lure bored Brits to the state by offering exotic jobs such as koala catchers, shark taggers and beer tasters.
The new campaign follows a survey of 2,000 British workers where 60 per cent admitted they were bored with their jobs and 70 per cent said they never got out of the office during a work day. The most discontent came from Portsmouth, Chelmsford, Southampton, Cardiff and Oxford.
The campaign claims it can offer 18 to 30-year-olds the “ultimate work-life balance” and all they need is a working holiday visa and a flight to SA.
South Australia’s London-based agent general Bill Muirhead said travellers who want to work have an option to experience something unique that they will talk about for years.
“This isn’t about one job that everyone has to compete for, but rather about showing people that South Australia offers more exciting work and travel options than anywhere else in the world. And anyone on a working holiday could do them,” he said.
It is so cute…I wanna work with it…

Great post. I’m hoping to get the chance to do this in 2001 if funds treat me nicely over the next couple of months. There are a lot of backpacking companies out there who are offering similar experiences too, just need to look in the right places. Wouldn’t mind some shark tagging or koala catching myself though!
