Learn how to work and live your best life

Australia’s Northern Territory will teach you everything you need to know about living your best backpacking life, true-blue Aussie style. Where else can you get a 101 course accreditation in helicopter pub crawling, wrangle a big saltie (that’s slang for crocodile) or pour a cold frothy with a good head (that means a well poured beer) on it? And did we mention earning big bucks when you work?

It’s the ultimate Aussie adventure where work doesn’t feel like you’re actually working. Proper jobs, better wages than back home, wicked nightlife, natural world icons like Uluru and every job in the NT counts towards your “88 days”. So if you want to be taught a real life lesson – enrol in the NT’s Backpacking Academy and graduate from the school of life!"
