Working holidays in Australia - 14 July 2009 15:41 ( #1 )
I just walked past STA travel coming to the library and did a double take, they're doing flights to Australia for £10. You have to purchase a working visa which is £149 but still, that's an amazing saving!
 
There's only 150 available like so it'll be a case of queueing overnight outside the participating stores which are:

Belfast, 92/94 Botanic Avenue BT7 1JR
Birmingham High St, 222-224 Corporation Street B4 6QB
Bristol, 43 Queens Road BS8 1QQ
Glasgow, 122 George Street G1 1RF
Leeds, 88 Vicar Lane LS1 7JH
London Victoria, 52 Grosvenor Gardens SW1W 0AG
Manchester, Albert Square 86 Cross Street M2 4LA
Southampton, 6-8 Civic Centre Road SO14 7FL                
 
Dunno if some of you guys that have graduated this year would be interested.. I was considering it myself but I've not got enough spare time

I got an email about that last week, took exactly the same double, then triple take!

I am so unbelievably tempted, the only problem is having to buy the visa first, then it's first-come-first-served on the flights, so if I didn't get one i'd be stuck with the visa.  But at the same time, I am never in my life going to get a flight that cheap!

You could fit in an overhead locker if you really squeeze?

But nah I couldn't do it right now, I don't have any cash to fund me once I actually reach Oz.  Plus I struggle with being at the other end of a big moterway from you, never mind a big mass of water!

My resolution to book to go to Australia by the end of this year still stands though, I am definately going next year for a few weeks at least, visiting family and job hunting!  Reckon you'll've saved up money by then Nat?
