I would look into working on Naxos or Paros (Greek Islands) During the European Summer there is plenty of work to be had and you don't need to speak Greek. Everyone is cool and being an Australian I assume you will be made really welcome there.

hay mate, in Dec 07 I spend 5 weeks in Mui Ne Vietnam, it is a small coastal town that only exists due to the kiting population. It is basically a 10km road along the beach with hotels on both sides ranging from budget accomidation $4 per night to $300+ luxury. There is a great kiting community that all do working seasons and another 200 or so holidaymakers at any one time. Apparently on good days there are up to 200 kites on the water.

Wind conditions are normally very good - 5 or 6 days a week you get 15K at 11Am building to 25-30 by mid afternoon and on really good days 35 by evening - On bad days you can pick up a bit of surf at different beaches. Standard kite size is a 9 and a seven for windy days

I don't know if you have ever travelled or lives in a developing country but its a bit different - however it is very cheap to live $20 aus per day will do on the cheap, and food and drink are very good value - A lobster dinner and 10 beers will set you back about $12 Aus.

There are heaps of links around but let me know if you want more info

Ive done 3 euro summers on rhodes island in greece, heaps of kite spots. and
consistent strong winds, like 28days a month, 7m and 10m kites.
Also great place to party. heaps of cash work around too, from bars and clubs and kite schools.
