Key skills and experience for a backpacker in Australia include adaptability, physical fitness for outdoor activities, strong communication skills, and the ability to work well in a team. Knowledge of basic survival skills, first aid, and an understanding of the local customs and regulations can also be beneficial.
In terms of work opportunities, popular backpacking destinations in Australia include Cairns, Byron Bay, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. Fruit picking and farm work opportunities can be found in rural areas such as the Sunshine Coast, Tasmania, and the Yarra Valley.
