If you plan on spending a long time travelling around Australia, you are almost definitely going to need to find work...Western Australia has no shortage of opportunities. As well as the obvious financial benefits, working is a great way to get to know the locals and experience the infamous Aussie lifestyle. As you would expect there are many types of jobs to try, from fruit-picking and mining work to normal clerical positions. The Jobs in Wa links on this page is a useful resource if you are not sure about visa restrictions, there is some great info on types of Visas you'll need to work, a fruit picking time table and tips on finding work.
Most jobs, even manual labour such as fruit-picking, pay surprisingly well. A few months of work can give your finances a significant boost, even though you probably wont be rolling in cash but you will probably enjoy your experience here in Australia even more.
