Weird jobs up for grabs in Australia !

Hey peeps,

So if you live in the UK , this one is for you !!!


Tired of the 9-to-5 routine in the rainy UK? Australia is offering British citizens aged 18 to 30 the chance to go on a working holiday on their shores to take "unusual, exciting and potentially life-changing jobs"
"Unusual" seems to be the right choice of word as the posts advertised by the South Australian government include "beach babes judge", "koala catcher", "beer taster", "shark tagger", "penguin home re-modeller" and “roo poo picker" (a job consisting of collecting kangaroo manure) .
"Life-changing" they may not necessarily be, but one thing's for sure: all of these jobs are set in exotic locations, somewhere far away from a dark and confined office in Britain.
But why are these positions advertised at all, in a country where immigration policies can be so tough?
South Australia's economy is currently booming, mainly thanks to the state's mineral wealth, and more than 180,000 new workers will apparently be needed there by 2015.
But these job offers aren't all about tempting workers to Australia. They will probably also help promote tourism in the area, as South Australia's agent general Bill Muirhead said: "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."
So if you feel lucky and fit the criteria, head out there and send me a post card!

Until da next Tyme !
