Gap Year in Australia

So you want to take a Gap year in Australia? Of course you do – great surf, acres of sizzling bush, rare wildlife and laid-back nightlife – no wonder hundreds of backpackers fly out every year. iGapYear can get you out there, if you promise to write home and explain why you’re not on the flight back.


There’s no shortage of work in Australia, you can fruit-pick, teach English to immigrants, take your chances in the cities or get involved in an organised volunteer or work scheme before you leave. You could even take a course in teaching water-sports and then gamble on finding a position that allows you to stay.
