Brits offered 10 pound trip to Australia AAP July 7, 2009, 2:32 pm * Britons are expected to rush for working holiday visas to snap up $20 air tickets to Australia. AAP © [Enlarge photo] * In an offer almost too good to be true, British travellers will soon be able to fly to Australia for less than the price of a guidebook. In a take on the term "10 pound Pom" - originally coined to describe British citizens who migrated to Australia after World War II - the scheme will allow Brits to travel Down Under for just STG10 ($A20.42). The move to boost the tourism industry will see 150 Qantas tickets to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane or Adelaide available for anyone with a valid Working Holiday Visa. Travellers will be able to return home whenever they wish. The limited tickets will be available from STA Travel outlets across the UK on August 5 on a first-come, first-served basis. The fare is available for departures between August 15 and September 30 and November 1 to 30. Would-be travellers are being encouraged to camp out for the tax-inclusive tickets, which are expected to be snapped up within hours. Those who miss out will be offered special Qantas return airfares at STG679 ($A1,386.56). STA Travel group managing director John Constable said people were looking for good value holidays in the current climate. "And it doesn't come much better than Oz for just a tenner," he said in a statement. "The 10-pound Pom is an opportunity for Brits to experience all that Australia has to offer, from working a vineyard in Margaret River to learning to surf on Bondi Beach." More than 35,000 young Brits travel on the working holiday program each year, Tourism Australia's UK/Europe general manager Rodney Harrex said. "The original 10-pound Pom assisted passage scheme resulted in a British fascination with the faraway land of Oz that has endured every since," he said in a statement. Mr Harrex said it was hoped the offer would boost awareness of Australia's working holiday program, encouraging more 18 to 30-year-olds to come in the future.
