Thanks Bobj. It never occurred to me that folks would flock northward for the fairly mild winter down there. I will definitely be flying into Queensland, perhaps Cairns.

Any job for sure. I definitely haven't romanticized a cozy high-paying gig on the beach, with topless girls running around. From what I have seen on job boards, kitchen/barista jobs are plentiful... with experience, which I do not have:sad: The U.S. isn't eligible for a 2nd year on their visa. Although, I have done a lot of agricultural work in the past, and would do it in Oz if the opportunity was there.

$2500 US = $2700 AU Sorry I didn't convert it.

I'm now well committed to a WH starting sometime this June. Unfortunately, I will only have a bit more than $2500 USD when I land. I do, however, have a credit card if necessary. I really want to avoid using credit if I can. My goal is to top-up my funds a bit so I can genuinely explore the country without the worry. I have used this forum quite a bit over the past couple weeks. There has been so much helpful info.... just wanted to say thanks to everyone.
