Career break in Australasia

A career break in Australasia enables you to really get away from it all on the other side of the world. There’s so much to see and experience on a career break in Australasia – fantastic beaches, Aborigine and Maori culture, cosmopolitan cities such as Sydney and Auckland, adventure sports, Ayer’s Rock and Milford Sound. By taking a career break in Australasia you can take your time to explore properly and really get to grips with Australia and New Zealand.

Australasia career break
GYFGUs offers all kinds of exciting programmes which help make your career break in Australasia one you’ll never forget. If you travel on an Australasia career break with GYFGU’s the main focus of all our programmes is to provide a ‘real’ career break travel experience rather than the usual bog standard tour you get with more conventional travel companies.

Just some of the things you could get up to on an Australasia career break include – working as a Conservation Volunteer in Australia, cycling in New Zealand, learning how to be a Cowboy (or girl!) in the Aussie Outback, glacier hiking on New Zealand’s South Island and learning how to sail in the idyllic setting of Sydney harbour.
