Robdocker Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi im Rob i will be heading over to Adelaide on 19/11/15 and will be staying with family iv never met before (random i no) for a few weeks, after this time i will be travelling across Australia with no definitive plan as im just going with he flow! of course i have a alot of places id like to go and things id like to do but i thought making a plan might restrict me on some of these things, and as im going alone i suppose i can just up and go at any point to the next destination, obviously this is still quite a daunting thought to me. so any advice is greatly appreciated and anyone that will be doin this trip around the same time feel to join along with thanks for your time oh im from the uk midlands (crap i no aha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGist Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Rob, I'm off to Sydney early Feb and I'm travelling alone aswell. Seems we have similar fears but I'm sure we'll be ok once we get going =) Where abouts in the midlands are you from? I'm a midlands lad too!

ali Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If you're hoping to be able to apply for a 2nd WHV then my advice would be to do the regional as soon as you can, a lot of people seem to leave it to the last minute and then can't get the necessary number of days. My nephew ended up going back to the UK after about 5 months, but he worked on a cattle ranch in Mount Isa for 3 months (said it was a great experience) and now has the option of getting another WHV is he wants to.

Hobo Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm planning on going to Melbourne in Feb and have the same idea of travelling around without a plan. I was speaking to some Aussies and they suggested the best and cheapest way to see Oz would be to buy a car / campervan. I don't really want to do that alone since the driving would be a bit much alone. Let me know if it's something you'd be interested in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm planning on going to Melbourne in Feb and have the same idea of travelling around without a plan.

I don't really want to do that alone since the driving would be a bit much alone. Let me know if it's something you'd be interested in! Pros and cons, mate. Pros...No arguments as to where and what to see. Please yourself as to times to move. Cons...More expensive. I bought a brand new station wagon in northern NSW, drove down to Adelaide, across the dirt road of the Nullabor to Perth and up to Derby, WA on my own . I had a job to go to in Kununurra but was stopped by a big Wet at Derby. That was 41 years ago when about third of the road was dirt. Cheers, Bobj.
