Guest51810 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh and would you recommend doing ultimate oz package? It's a shame they don't do them in other states, I wasn't planning on landing in Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 This will probably change a million times before September but right now the rough plan is to land in Perth sometime in the week between the 7th and the 12th. Spend a week exploring Perth and then try and find some regional work if I can. Otherwise just normal work. Do that till just before Christmas/new year and then hopefully go to Sydney. Not sure how long I'll stay there but after that make my way up to see @The Pom Queen in cairns [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can come here for Christmas if you want unless you have thousands of hunky guys you rather be with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Stacey if you are here in September maybe you could tag along on a BobJ trip. You would learn all there is to know about the outback whilst seeing the most beautiful places. If the little one wasn't at school I could travel 365 days of the year with him and learn something new everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry thought I'd replied to this. Did you not say your or robs parents come over? I couldn't distrupt your Xmas like that! Lovely offer though :hug: Lol I won't know any guys never mind hunky ones :laugh: Just have to hope I find a group of friends to spend Xmas with. I'll probably end up having a sandwich for Xmas dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Where is he going?

ali Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 One of my favourite places in WA is Exmouth - the four of us were the only people on the beach other than the giant turtles that had come to shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 You have to go to Esperance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Esperance was def on the list too, I noticed there's some helpx places there. Unless I'm getting muddled up with somewhere else. That's a possibility since I thought Byron bay was in Queensland :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my idea of heaven. I'm not that keen on spending my whole time in a pub or anywhere like that, not that I could afford it anyway. I want to see as much nature as possible.. As long as the snakes and spiders keep a respectful distance from me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Stace I don't want to rain on your parade but can you drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Nope and I know it might be a problem for some areas. For remote places I'm going to have to rely on a tour or hope I meet some friends that want to hire a campervan and can drive. I've had a look at the greyhound buses etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 You've got me worried now I wasn't planning on going anywhere really really remote. I'll just have to hope I can find a way to get to places if there's no bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 You've got me worried now I wasn't planning on going anywhere really really remote. I'll just have to hope I can find a way to get to places if there's no bus I didn't want to worry you but being able to drive would certainly make getting around easier. Buses/trains etc will certainly get you to 'destinations' but they won't necessarily get you to the exact things you want to see (if that makes sense). Tours will get you to those things but seeing Aust with tour operators isn't going to be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'll just have to make do. I won't be able to afford to do lessons and pass in time, it's going to be a struggle to even pay for the trip. Plus to be honest I would never be confident enough to drive in a new country anyway. When I was doing my lessons I was very nervous. I'll just have to use the buses and maybe i can get a lift to more remote places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I notice that on the backpacking Facebook groups there's loads of adverts like "does anybody want a space in the car to go to.."

Freckleface Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Stace are you on Pinterest? If you put Australia into the search function it comes up with lots of great places to visit and has some beautiful photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put Australia into the search function it comes up with lots of great places to visit and has some beautiful photos. I don't have an account but I think it let's me on without one because I've went on one or two pages. I've liked quite a few Australia tourism pages on FB so quite often things come up. I'll check out Pinterest though. I've also got a Australia and nz travel brochure that I got from Thomas cook lol Exmouth has been on the backpacker fb page before with backpackers looking for others to go as a group and share costs so I might be okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
