Australia

I always thought Australia was the continent with permanent hot weather, boy what was I wrong. I started by arriving in the Darwin region when rainy season was in full swing, lots of rain and a small cyclone coming! Then in the south the summer started really late in 2013, leaving me one day wearing my jacket on the beach :-). But when summer finally kicked in I could experience the hot Australian summer fully, no worries about that! Loved it! Wwoofing was nice in both places I did it, but left me sometimes exhausted and craving for some quality time on my own, no worries I got that later in other places.

Volunteer work Is Allowed In Australia On A Tourist Visa

Australians are very friendly, but still my experience with customs, when returning back from Bali left me exhausted and wondering! I got a warning that yes I could do volunteer work on my tourist visa as I was doing, but that should absolutely not turn into paid work in Australia. No worries wasn’t planning on staying in Australia!

Greyhound Buses In Australia

Like I blogged about before it’s sometimes hard to pick the right place to get a decent sleep, because I can’t judge the hostels always up front on their quietness and sometimes there is nothing else left. Luckily the distances are big in Australia and Greyhound buses are good to catch up on sleep. No worries!

Free Toilets in Australia

The first time I saw that the toilet and drinking water was available for free. I was surprised and looking for catches, but it really is. Bbq and showers in parks, Wi-Fi in libraries, museums and galleries, some tours, museums, galleries and parks are free too. For someone living in Holland where I have to pay for all these services, this was heaven! No, worries!

Encounters With Wild Animals In Australia

But what mostly amazed me about this country was nature and the animals walking around in the wild. Lots of kangaroo, wallabies, koalas, dolphins, sea lions, possums, etc. Saw all of them in wild, no worries!

No Worries Australia

I can say my total 2,5 months Australia was an amazing experience to never forget! I will always have the fond memories of the people, the animals, nature, Australian open, the distances, the free stuff and the experiences. Thanks Australia for having me! No worries!
