Goodbye Sydney

I haven’t had much time to care about the blog in the last few weeks,I’m working in an apple factory from one month,if you are backpackers and you are in Victoria,close to melbourne,be aware that from monday Battunga Apples in Hoddles Creek is looking for 30 backpackers for fruit picking. After three month working in Mullumbimby in New South Wales I just would like to travel all around Australia,a backpack on my back and nothing more then that,by the way if you are looking for a good backpack Blackwolf is amazing,I bought one two weeks ago and it as everything I need,if you want to check it out here’s the site: http://bagworld.com.au If you are planning to leave your country for an experience in Oz working and studying I’ll give you some tips,I didn’t know how to do to organize,my first month here has been really a mess,but when you figure it out and you get used to overhere’s life,all become simplier. If you want to work 3 months in a farm to get a second year working holiday student visa (be aware that you won’t be paied,but you’ll have meals and a bad for free,BUT you also have to be lucky as I haven’t been,because a lot of people you’ll work for will try to take advantage of you,and they could give you cheap or expired food,but the family I’m living now with is amazing,really gentle and pleasant,as I said,you have to be lucky)just type on facebook or google “wwoofer australia”,and you’ll find their site,in which you will be able to purchase a book with all the names of the farmers in Australia and Tasmania,all divided by region (victoria,new south wales,queensland ecc)with details of the job they need,the amount of workers they need and for how log,their address,emails and telephone numbers.The farms that allow you to get a second visa will have PP written on right down corner,at the end of the description,easy. From now on I’ll start to write both in english and italian,for my parents and my lazy friends. Da ora in poi iniziero’ a scrivere sia in inglese che in italiano,sia per i miei genitori che per i miei amici che non hanno il tempo per tradurre due righe in inglese. Here some photos the day before we left Sydney,we had some amazing pieces of cake and fish and chips bought in bondi beach,close to where I used to live,then we went sitting in bondi beach park,in front of the seaside and sufers,and we started throwing food to seagulls.What a cranky bastard animal it is,it would do everithing for a little piece of food. Ecco qualche foto del giorno prima che lasciassimo Sydney,abbiamo comprato del fish & chips buonissimo a bondi beach,vicino all’appartamento dove vivevo,poi siamo andati a sederci nel parco a bondi beach,di fronte alla spiaggia e ai surfisti,e abbiamo iniziato a tirare cibo ai gabbiani.Che animale incazzato e bastardo che e’,per un pezzo di cibo farebbe di tutto.


My everyday’s present

In spite of scars,everyday’s pain,hard works,nights in which i wake up for mosquitos or bugs on my body,snakes,spiders,liches,giant flies,jumping ants that are still biting me and the sun that burns like hell even if it’s still spring,every moment spent here is still a present.

Mullumbimby

The post you are going to read

is being written and it has been

photographed in Mullumbimby,

665 leftbank road,new south wales!

Come here to tell me ciao!

Here’s the place in which we stayed for 1 week,and in which we will have to rest for 7 more!

That’s the place in which we sleep every night!

when the sun goes down,there are a lot of creepy sounds!

That’s the place where we were supposed to sleep,but was so full of bugs and the girls didn’t want to rest there!

So it has become our wardrobe!

The house in which we get meals is twenty feet from our tent,son after being waken up we get breakfast in 30 minutes,then we start working,7 hours by day,raining ones included 🙂

The house stands right in behind our tent,and the tend is between the house and the caravan “wardrobe”

Thats the sitting room and the kitchen,that we share with two puppets,in front of this room there’s a beautiful bush landscape,behind one room and some stairs that leads to the boss bedroom


Here’s the room behind the kitchen!

And our cooking size!

That’s the landscape we see from the sitting room-kitchen!

The bathroom and the shower have been built here,300 mt from the house and 100 from our tent,but during night the creepy crawling noises of the bush take me really far from here!

The shower is amazing,you can see what happens outside,but from outside anybody can’t see you!
