Queensland introduces new Working Holidayer Travel Pass

Experiencing the wonders of Queensland just became a lot simpler for travellers on a working holiday, with a new pass providing discounted coach travel and tours. It’s called the Working Holidayer Pass, and it could be a game changer for your travel.

Created to entice working holiday visa holders to the Sunshine State, it’s also designed to help relieve widespread labour shortages in Queensland, where there are more than 1,000 tourism and hospitality jobs currently on offer.

Available at a discounted price of $299 until the end of August or sold out (normal retail pride $739), the Working Holidayer pass includes one-way travel from Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra to Queensland on the Greyhound Australia coach network, plus unlimited travel on Greyhound services throughout the state.

It also gives you access to discounted experiences through Backpacker Deals, including Whitsundays scene flights, skydiving, a Cape Tribulation day tour and more!
