Chiara Giannetti Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks! emmm a bit of both really! when i get to Perth I am help x'ing at a kangaroo sanctuary for a couple of months (goes towards my 2nd visa) after that just going to back pack around, I want to be in brisbane area around April/May to go to Nimbin's mardi grass festival!

Guest51810 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hope you have a great time! You'll meet plenty people I don't want to put a spoiler on it but it doesn't count towards your 2nd year anymore. However it still sounds amazing. I want to do something like that for a few weeks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Giannetti Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi again Stacey! not long till you leave! do you have a 'ruff' plan? oh really what makes you say that the listing definitely says it goes towards 2nd year visa hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Giannetti Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 OH no maybe i made a mistake!! I have another place I'm going to its a farm and they can DEFINITLEY sign 2nd year visa's i just double checked. Ive emailed the kangaroo place to double check though, thanks for making me aware to double check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 My rough plan is to stay in NSW after my 2 weeks in Sydney, either still in Sydney or somewhere more smaller if I don't like it. Other than that I don't have a clue! I'd happily go to Tasmania for a few months if I could find a job there instead. They changed the rules this year, you need to be earning the lawful wage and have wage slips for it to count but it still sounds worth doing for a week or two. I'm not bothered about doing a second year (atm) so the volunteering thing wouldn't put me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Giannetti Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I havent really been thinking about actually getting paid work over there, if something comes up id take it i suppose but hopefully couch surfing will help me out a lot what area of work are you hoping to get? OH no really that is so rubbish, I know what you mean im not too bothered about 2nd year visa, although we might as well get it while were out there! The farm i am going to in queensland in through help X, so i am not getting paid but they have definitely told me they can sign for 2nd year visa! I have triple checked now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm hoping to get hospitality work or maybe retail but I'd definitely like to do a helpx placement for a few weeks if I can get there without a car! Some of them look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Giannetti Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 have you looked in to the backpacker buses? the greyhound one for example? they seem ideal well if your moving around a lot i suppose. Any events or anything your planning to go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Giannetti Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 what was your main checklist of things that needed organised? i have my visa, my flights, apart from that i havent organised anything, just making sure theres nothing major im forgetting lol if you could help me out that would be great you seem pretty clued up!

Guest51810 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Oh I didn't get organised right till the last minute. I only got insurance yesterday!! I'm still frantically ordering stuff online today and having to pay the extra delivery. All I've got left to get is swimwear and a sleeping bag liner. I think that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
