EP 103: The Top End
The Top End is a popular destination for everyone at this time of year. And with the demand for workers, it also attracts a lot of Working Holiday visa holders.
But those looking to move to the top end at this time of year, are often disappointed to find that they can't find employment.
One person who has done things right is my guest Maria. As soon as she arrived in Australia, Maria was prepared to live and work in remote and regional areas of Australia. She has identified where she wants to live and work ahead of time, and as a result of this, has ended up working in a place as close to paradise as can be.
Myself, I lived in Darwin, in the top end for 4 years, did my post graduate study and travelled extensively in the top end and Northern Territory. It is a place close to my heart and I consider it one of my second homes. I hope that comes through in this episode.
We take this opportunity to talk about the informal names given to some regions in Australia. We also talk about the strategies and tips for anyone wanting to work in the regions.
What are your tips and strategies for living and working in remote and regional Australia? We'd love to hear them.
