My girlfriend and I are planning a trip around the world, and hope to make
Australia one of our major stops (2-6 months).  As neither of us is
swimming in cash, we hope to take advantage of the Australian Working
Holiday Visa.  The Australian Consulate-General here in Vancouver has told
me that these visas are very hard to get, as only a very few are given out.

Does anyone know anything about these visas, or perhaps alternate ways to
supplement travel funds in Australia? (or elsewhere for that matter).
Any hints as to how to fill in the the application, what to send in etc.
would be most appreciated.

I would also be interested to hear about peoples "round-the-world" travel
experiences; do's and don'ts, visa problems, employment opportunities etc.

thanks in advance,
