I highly advocate people going to work or travel abroad for a year or two, but it's important to note that this article is specifically recommending going to work in the Australian Outback. I've been to Australia and it's a lovely place with lovely people, but living deep in the Outback also means relative isolation, dust, and probably more boredom than you're expecting. You'll be at the mercy of the mix of long-term travelers in your location at that particular time, which might be good or bad.
Some folks (like myself) much prefer living in a bigger city with access to music, art, cuisine, culture, green space, and limitless people.
Though that's not to say you can't enjoy living in the Outback--lots of people choose to live there and love it--but just be aware of what you're getting in to. There's a reason one place pays so much more than the other!
Exactly, and Aussie cities are VERY expensive to live in. Sure wages are higher, but Sydney especially is one of the most expensive and congested cities to live in in the world.
