There are a lot of jobs in Japan for Australians related to this.

Work In Summer Camps
Work in summer camps as a counselor especially if you will be traveling to Canada, Europe, or Russia. Activities like horseback riding, hiking, and canoeing are just a few of the things you will enjoy doing with the participants. Summer camps usually post job vacancies along with the process of application on their sites. Be keen to spot them right away before anyone does.
Write As You Travel
Most travelers document all their travel experiences as they take photos of the places they’ve visited and the activities they did. If you are able to hit the right formula to doing this, you can make a fortune out of it. Certain travel agencies and government branches of some countries are willing to pay for well-written travel logs as they will use these to promote tourist spots. Take a travel writing class for some months and get certified writing excellent travel articles.
Get In Touch With NGO’s
Getting in touch with NGO’s can get you a summer work abroad that is rich with life experiences. Alleviating poverty, feeding the hungry, conserving the environment, caring for orphaned children or helping those who suffer from AIDS or other diseases are a few of the things that will be assigned to you. Psyche yourself in advance not to expect a big pay from doing those humanitarian activities as they are somehow close to volunteer work.
