Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Okaaay so another change of plan! The orange picking job isn't working out (admittedly we haven't done a days work there) but the boss can't give us the hours we need to cover our food and accomodation and save aswell, and the area is a bit.....crap to be truthful! So we're gonna do what we originally planned, and after here go to Adelaide and then onto the Wwoofing job on the Great Ocean Road. And look for any job and not just a harvest job. I have heard there are a few that are like that, they just use the backpackers, maybe a good write up on these ones would help others in the area, I suppose if you are desperate for the 2nd year WHV then people will do it.

BritChickx Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yeah you're right, and it would be good to warn people or advise people of where to go/not go. I'm thinking it might be best just to get any job, me and Paul were thinking near or in Melbourne after wwoofing. And just doing wwoof work to get my 2nd year visa instead.

How much more do you have to do to get your 2nd year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just a thought, ask Furkew (Paul) on here if there is any work in the garden centres, flower wholesalers he may know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritChickx Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 For anyone interested, here is a map of where we've been so far.... And our next few stops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 so after leaving Adelaide this morning we travelled far and wide and ended up....in Victor Harbor! (A 95km journey that took 2 hours). Another member, Pablo, recommended the area so here we are! Once we got here we set up the tent and set off for Granite Island. Small but very scenic, if you go with a tour guide in the evenings you can catch the penguins coming back onto the island. We had a wander around using the paths, which is a short walk, and it got pretty hot so set off to the beach afterwards! Went for a dip in the sea which was refreshing! And was the first time i've been in any aussie waters! We're only here just until tomorrow morning so haven't checked out the whole area but what we did see was pretty good here are the photos. The choo choo train! Very nice! Start of the bridge to Granite Island. You can also go on a horse drawn tram, but the horse is out of action atm as they're re doing the pathways! Some of the trail and view from the top Paul taking a dip....in his boxers lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
