Agriculture is a major hub of the Australian economy.\u00a0His productions are diverse, and many of them are similar to those found in France (beef, mutton, gardening, wine &#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>This is more a state pioneer of organic agriculture, particularly through the WWOOF * (1600 hosts real networks in Australia). Australia suffered in recent years an unprecedented drought, familiarly called &#8220;The Big Dry&#8221;.\u00a0This country is therefore a fertile ground for research regarding the future of water resources and improving its management.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this destination offers many practical advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>English<\/strong> is spoken throughout the country.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Working Holiday Visa<\/strong> (WHV) enables young people aged 18 to 30 spend up to one year on <strong>Australian territory<\/strong> in an affordable, combining paid <strong>work and tourism<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Many tourists seek to make their journey by <strong>van<\/strong>.\u00a0The potential acquisition of a vehicle are numerous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>* The <strong>WWOOF<\/strong> (&#8220;World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms&#8221;) is a global network of organic farms in England created in 1971 which intend to welcome anyone wishing to share their lives and their work in exchange for room and board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"gt-res-tools\"><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in French.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1093,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"categories":[253,255],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alcheringa.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
