Imagine yourself standing on a picturesque beach, with crystal clear water and a stunning view of Wineglass Bay. This could be your reality, as Tasmania is calling out to all winter travelers with a unique offer. While the UK is currently enjoying a taste of summer, we never know how many more sunny days are in store. So, if you're already planning for the colder months ahead, why not consider a trip to Tasmania?
The Australian island state is offering 10 unusual and temporary jobs for those interested in exploring the off-season. From being a paranormal investigator, wombat walker, to stargazer, these roles are sure to pique your curiosity. And the best part? The Tasmanian Tourist Board will cover all your expenses if you are selected for the job.
Let's dive into the details, shall we? First up, we have the role of a paranormal investigator. If you have a fascination for history and mystery, this one-day voluntary job is perfect for you. You'll get to use the latest ghost-hunting equipment at Willow Court, one of Australia's oldest asylums. How thrilling!
If that doesn't sound intriguing enough, how about becoming an oyster organizer? You'll get to sort, clean, and categorize freshly harvested oysters from Great Oyster Bay. And if you have a refined palate, there's also an opportunity for taste-testing as part of the quality control process.
Other jobs on the list include joining the crew of the Lynchford Express steam train for a ride along the Tasmanian west coast, stargazing with Tasmania's Astronomical Society, hunting for truffles, and becoming a "wine whisperer." Sounds like a dream job, doesn't it?
Now, let's take a quick look at what Tasmania has to offer. With a population of 541,071, this island is located 240 kilometers south of the Australian mainland, separated by the Bass Strait. The average temperatures range from 17 to 23 degrees Celsius in the summer and 3 to 11 degrees Celsius in the winter.
According to Tourism Tasmania, 1.25 million people visited the island in 2023, which was an increase from the previous year but slightly less than the pre-pandemic numbers in 2019. The winter season in Tasmania sees temperatures drop to 3-11 degrees Celsius, making it the perfect destination for Australians seeking a break from the daily grind and a boost in well-being.
Unfortunately, this opportunity is only open to adult residents living in Australia. But if you've always considered moving down under, why not plan for next year's winter and put yourself forward for one of these unique jobs? See you down under, mate!
