If you don't like the idea of packing up and heading off to Australia for a year to do nothing but have fun, then there's probably something wrong with you. So, assuming you're normal and DO want to head Down Under, then chances are the only thing stopping you is the cost.

Since we at Visa Bureau have haggled and conferred and consulted and even occasionally fist-fought to get our clients as many discounts and freebies as possible, the truth is that you're probably going to have to take that hammer to your piggie bank to make sure you don't run out of funds while you're Down Under.

As we don't like thinking of our clients struggling to find their next beer, begging for the last shrimp off the barbie or having to settle for the cheapest surfboard and because the cost of your flight is probably the biggest cost of your entire working holiday, we've teamed up with our friends over at STA Travel to offer one lucky customer the chance to win the cost of your flights back!

The offer is exclusive to Visa Bureau clients, and entering couldn't be easier - just make sure that you book your flights with STA Travel by calling 0161 830 8764 or emailing , as this will let STA Travel identify you as a Visa Bureau client.

Provided you then make a booking and completete payment for your flight to Australia through STA Travel between 1 May and 31 July, 2012, you could be in with a chance to win a full refund of the cost of your flights! 

Now, while winning would be just about the best thing ever, even if you don't bag the refund you can still get a great deal with Visa Bureau and STA Travel as every one of our clients booking flights with STA Travel is entitled to a £25 discount. Not bad, eh?
