Backpacker Jobs Cairns

This is a great place to find backpacker jobs, due to the city's proximity to the Great Barrier Reef. Found up the eastern coast of Australia, Cairns attracts avid swimmers, scuba divers, and snorkelers from around the world. In fact, Cairns is the fourth most popular tourist destination in Australia for international travelers.
If you have any experience dealing with boating, scuba diving, or other aquatic activities, you should be able to find work in this area. It is the Cairn's proximity to the Great Barrier Reef that makes it such the backpacker hot spot. During the day, find work along the coast, helping to guide a tour along a reef. At night, relax in one of the hundreds of hostels and guesthouses found
