So im told that you can make good money on working holiday if you haul rear end out to the desert towns around mining areas and just work in pubs all day long. Is this accurate? I know it would be a little grindy but I'm about to finish college with a low amount of debt I'd like to kill off quickly and I'm a desert rat since birth so if the place has a big sky in the day and stars at night I end up kinda just zenning out in whatever I do day to day. Fuckin east coast U.S. offers little in that regard.

Are you a woman? Because i've heard that the punters at these pubs are less than respectful to woman, particularly young female backpackers.

Alternatively, if it doesn't bother you, the less you wear the more money you can make.

Yeah Melbourne is pretty bad but at least it's not Sydney.

What are the downsides to this place (Australia)? On a work trip and it just seems too nice, people, weather, scenery. Is your country out of money? Are you all secretly horrible racists? It’s got to be something evil. :ohdear:

Yes and Yes

All small Australian towns will have a nice bakery that has won an award for their pies though.

I'm thinking of driving to Melbourne from Canberra via Gippsland.
What's there to see and do there because I'm struggling to find anything except a few national forests, some beaches and a bunch of closed coal mines in the Latrobe Valley.

Seriously I'm looking at TripAdvisor and this town says its #2 attraction is a statue.

A tiger flight is 100$

So, I'll be in Melbourne at the end of next month. Was super stoked to see Metallica and Slipknot...

Have you considered seeing a John Farnham concert on the 24th of November in Werribee?

I'm planning to travel to Australia for about a 3 weeks on the ground in March. I'm planning to start in Melbourne and end in Sydney, but I'm trying to figure what my 3rd city should be. Is Canberra a good place to visit?
