I am guessing they are still being issued As this was in the media this past week: An Australian state is so desperate for workers that it's offering bargain basement $17.60 (£10) fares to entice British backpackers to come Down Under. The South Australian scheme is a modern twist on the post-war '10-pound Pom' scheme and will see Irish travellers get even cheaper trips to Australia costing just €10, or $14.90. The move comes as the battle for backpackers heats up due to worker shortages across the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
