Time seems to run. Now we have the fourth week was spent at the orchard in the Perth Hills (Mundaring). Slowly, we long for the return trips, we finally hang since early January to be around Perth. The work is still monotonous, so we also change from time to time the jobs to obtain at least a little change, for up to a power failure mid-week and the continuous rain for days, absolutely nothing extraordinary happened.
And actually, a year in Australia events are bursting, but since when has this form of travel at all?
We have a working holiday visa, this type of visa, there since the eighties and possible in the first such annual holidays. Germany joined the cultural tourism program in 2000. This is not only young Germanized as Matthi and I travel around the world, but also means that can, for example, Koreans spend twelve months in Ireland. A total of 16 nations are now involved in this exchange and who does not know at least one of you a person who ever lived in Canada, Australia or the United Kingdom for a while. This is not only rewarding for young people but also for the countries. In addition to the typical integration, culture and communication nonsense boost backpacker to the local economy. In Australia, give travelers that category, after all, almost 800 million euros each year and are cheap labor for all activities. This money could be nearly a third of the annual coal subsidies are worn, but of backpacking, have very few in Germany have heard something. This is probably not so much that Germany had to offer too little to see, but to the archaic structures of the accommodation. Australia has in every small town, a budget accommodation at reasonable prices. In Germany, however, is that niche with shopworn boarding houses, motels and shabby houses rare, absolutely not covered. Hostels, one searches in vain, with this mix of dorms and scant comfort, now appeals to older travelers, because what we see as early as the gates of a resort or the walls of a hotel room?
But perhaps we see in decades, some Aussies by Mark Brandenburg go to the Sans Souci and the massive solar industry from Frankfurt to watch.
Where we have while traveling, it has struck us that there are many different ways in touring the continent and the corresponding stereotypes for it.
For sake of clarity, we want to cut this short in a story.
"Arnold, Christina, Ulf and Konstanze want to spend a year in Australia. All four start in Sydney, but otherwise they all have very different plans. Constance was the first to leave town by plane, to Darwin. Arnold buys an old Ford and sets off towards Melbourne. Ulf Sydney finds great and still remains a few weeks and Christina travels by bus to Uluru. Constance finds out very quickly that she flew to Darwin in the rainy season. The monsoon makes work impossible, Konstanze but needs money. Meanwhile, Christina is sitting in Alice Springs in prison she has permission to enter and Aboriginiegebiet geschÃĪndigt the moment she waits for her conviction. Arnold, meanwhile, is on the way to Perth, he is a few days ago set out from Adelaide. Ulf has discovered the opera house, Sydney finds it great. Konstanze flies with their last money to Perth, she hopes to work there. Arnold Ford has kicked the bucket, Arnold can now travel by hitch and is now seven kilometers progress. Christina was given a fine of $ 6,000 and is now back in Germany after 5 weeks, Ulf was in the zoo.
Constance and Arnold meet in Perth, they are now working in a McDonalds, they save on a car. Christina is also working in a McDonalds, they saved up for a new Life. Ulf was on the beach.
Constance and Arnold are at work to come closer, they decided to continue their journey together. Ulf Australia finds boring.
Arnold and Constance driving through the outback to Brisbane, from where they return to Germany after 8 months.
Ulf 20,000 miles buys a ticket for the bus, which he uses to get to the airport. Ulf returns the last to return after 11 months in cold Germany. "
The whole thing is of course an exaggeration, but there are indeed such tendencies. There are many people who only fly from city to city, or stay the same in Sydney. There are people who by car or bus to the continent or go around to cover a selected range, as we do. Then there are people who come to Australia not to fast and fly right back home, it must not be the same prison, but there are a number of reasons. Most often you meet good people who were only on the east coast and exploring the "wonderful" Australia's climate and beaches and oceans. The real charm of the continent and its unique features to explore, many backpackers before, but it is also every being. We at least want to let slip any opportunity in this wonderful time, so the next report, hopefully be back filled with numerous travel anecdotes. Let us hope that the last week slog fast passes.
