Be a conservation volunteer in the outback or rainforest (or both!):

Volunteer your time to help out in remote areas where parts of Australia’s beauty are being neglected.

This could involve anything from building public footpaths to planting more trees. You will get a real insight into Australia’s unique wildlife!
