I'm considering Melbourne, Perth,Adelaide or Sydney for the summer period.

What is the high tourist seoson (from when to when?!)

Any other suggestions?

Might need a small job.

Preferably in tourist branch (speaking english, german and french fluently)

Other option is working with animal like in a zoo or outdoor aquarium.


In Europe I am working for an airline but really wanna take a change.

I'm part time driving instructor so if any of you know some sport where I can work as instructor would be great too.

Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!

Sydney is the biggest city in Australia but there are other areas with huge tourism industries.

The season goes from Spring through to the end of Summer (Sept - March) and there should be plenty of short term work for travellers particularly with your language skills.

Maybe register with some recruitment sites like Seek and Career.com. Not sure if there are specialised short term and tourism sites.

There are a few driving schools you could apply to as long as CAMS recognise your qualifications. Otherwise we just might have to organise a track day and get you along as a tutor.

We'll also arrange a meet and drive day to say hi.

Hey TJ,

so that why you are around so long time ?!

All cities are much of a muchness IMO. If you are looking for the 'most interesting area' I'd suggest the outback.

If you have your dive ticket I could suggest Cairns. It's not far from the outback but you also have the Great barrier reef there and the daintree. I considered flaking out and doing dives up there a few years back

I've seen the Sony HD demo blue ray dics recently and they had absolutely stunning pictures of Sydney by air.

Although I've already been to Sydney that was really amazing.

Yep, lots of places at Greys Point like that.

Here's some aerials of the Gold Coast. This is where you really have access to your boat in almost every backyard due to the huge canal system.

I don#t know maybe its a stupid question but something I am thinking about is if it could be possible to make my life as either "water" or "air" taxi ?!

I basically wanna buy a speed boat an give rides for tourists aroudn the area or as a "water taxi" for business people which dont have the time to wait for the ferry.

Second option would be buying an water aircraft and flying tourists around.

Don#t have to make much money, its jus tsomething I would enjoy I guess...

But on the other hand I am sure these services are already all over...
