School leavers who have shunned university for the time being and opted for the good old gap year will be relieved to hear there are plenty of jobs circulating - including positions for sweet potato sorters.

Goharvest.com, a company in Queensland, Australia, is advertising the "social" vacancy as the perfect job for a student traveller, providing the applicant is "outdoorsy with high energy levels". Skills gained from working on the Bundaberg farm include budgeting and working as a team.

Other rather unique jobs advertised by Queensland's tourist board include a Finding Nemo coordinator, a yacht hand, who needs to be able to tie a "good knot", and a "Jillaroo", which involves "mustering animals".
