There's plenty of options, it just depends on your skills or your willingness to try something new:) The Harvest Trail (fruit picking/packing work) is going on at some part of Aussie all year round, but like rach says above the pay isn't the greatest so it may not be the best option for saving money for further travels. If you'd like bar work, make sure to sit an RSA certificate when you get to Aussie for the State you'd like to work in. I think these are only day long courses and cost about $120?? (check those details, I didn't actually do it myself). The big cities are expensive in terms of living costs, so while you'll wanna check them out, I'd recommend you do your sightseeing then look for work somewhere smaller.
