Excellent working holiday intro tour in Melbourne

February 17, 2025by: Alexandra Paul - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
10

I recently joined the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour, and it was hands down the perfect way to kick-start my Australian adventure! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, making the transition into a new country smooth and stress-free. The itinerary was a great mix of practical support and fun experiences. The team helped us set up essentials like bank accounts, tax file numbers, and SIM cards, which saved me so much time and hassle. They also provided great advice on job hunting, which gave me a real head start in finding work. Beyond the practical stuff, the city tours were a highlight. We explored Melbourne’s famous laneways, checked out the street art, and visited St. Kilda Beach, all while learning about the city’s culture. There were also plenty of opportunities to socialize, and I met an amazing group of people from all over the world. The support from their local team didn’t stop when the tour ended—they were always there to help with any questions I had. If you’re looking for an exciting, hassle-free way to start your working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour!

A Guide to Ranch Jobs Abroad

Why Find Ranch Jobs Abroad

While ranches and cowboys are often associated with the western United States, it’s definitely not the only area of the world where tough men and women have used their strengths and smarts to make a living off the land. Learning ranching skills abroad offers double bonuses: experiencing a brand new culture AND perfecting skills that could be beneficial in your professional or personal life. 

If you’re looking to make dude ranch employment your profession, then the skills you gain from doing international horse ranch jobs will be a bulls-eye for future employers. Anyone who is studying agriculture, animal science, or large animal veterinary medicine will also benefit greatly from getting hands-on work with a variety of farm animals and ranching techniques (don’t forget the less marketable but equally important benefit of getting to cuddle baby lambs on the job!).

Even if your chosen profession isn’t the life of responding to “Ranch Help Wanted” calls forever, you’ll still benefit from learning practical physical labor and skills, like teamwork and problem solving — these golden skills are applicable to everything. Whether you’re learning to drive cattle with a gaucho, building fences with a jackeroo, or training horses with a vaquero, you will gain a much more heartfelt understanding of a country and culture than you ever could from inside a classroom.
