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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the ten-pound-pom thing then, I knew there had to be catches in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
