Working Holiday Maker visa. It's good for a year and you can work for any one employer for up to 6 months. There is a possibility of an extension for another year if you do 88 days of regional work such as fruit picking.

If your visa for Australia was just granted you would be wise to take a trip here to validate it before heading off somewhere else for a year. You do understand that you have to enter Australia before the initial entry date right?

they issued it to me all ready validated.

i came to aus on a tourist visa, then got given a bridging visa so i could stay in the country while applying for a de facto visa. immagration then sent me a letter the other week saying my de facto visa had been granted and i could leave and re-enter aus as many times as i like. apparently its all electronic

And you're getting it. What Boiler is trying to you is that you are clearly describing working in the US.

Ah well that's a different kettle of fish then. :) Loads of other visas need to be validated within a year of police checks/medicals. Good luck with the backpacking thing.

That would be a wise choice since it's pretty much the definition of working. Work doesn't mean getting paid, it's receiving pretty much anything as compensation in exchange for doing pretty much anything.
