Leaonne Hall | Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 11:23 am

Tourism Australia is giving two lucky British or Irish 18 to 30 year olds the chance to live the Aussie lifestyle with the launch of a new working holiday competition on social networking sites MySpace and Bebo.

One person from the MySpace community and one person from Bebo will win the working holiday of their dreams to Australia. The prize includes return flights to Australia from London and the choice of one of six, month-long paid placements around the country.
