After a week of discovery and relaxation it's time to roll up their sleeves ... Objective: To seek employment in a farm (farm). This seems deceptively simple, but two days of uninterrupted research on internet sites and phone calls anywhere in Australia do not lead, alas, to no concrete results. In any case you feel the desire to change, especially from my sister who is in Sydney from seven months and then decide to go anyway, even without a job in hand. To Brisbane (Queensland), with an intermediate stop in Byron Bay. Here in Australia there is a chance to buy tickets valid for time "t" for the so-called bus hop-on hop-off: you pay a certain price and on the basis that you have a limited or unlimited stops tot of your choice to make before reaching its final destination. Our ticket is valid for 3 months and allows us to choose only one stop. So we decide to opt for Byron Bay, romantic setting of the Gold Cost
spend 13 hours on a bus before arriving at Byron. Travel is no longer a burden to me, but at Instead, the expectation of pleasure itself becomes pleasure. We settle in the hostel Aquarius, much bigger and cleaner than that of Bondi. The bay and the sand are really beautiful, can be glimpsed in the distance a white lighthouse against the sky, the sun is very hot and the ocean is calmer than that of Bondi, so give us an afternoon of sun, swimming and relaxation. The village is very small and cute, full of shops and cafes. In the evening, unfortunately not so much excited as the hours passed before: the pubs are also nice, but shame that the average age is around 15-18 years ... As a consolation prize gives us a sweet orgasm (you can be said?), then, to not feel too aunts, go straight to find Morpheus. Good choice, since the night before coach I can not say I slept like a log! Even these days, alas, it gave us good news in the workplace. But ... Hope is the last to die, as they say! Indeed
... New day, new job! Finally, after countless calls, comes the long awaited, "Yes, there is work! Come even if you will, tomorrow. " Thanks to an advertisement in a newspaper job as a farm Gatton, Queensland, an hour and a half hours from Brisbane. Where will this place unknown to mankind? But! We'll find out soon! In any case, think about it to spend another day in Byron, we can certainly leave without first visiting Nimbin! This town is well known to lovers of the '60s and '70s music and reggae ... Yes ... But to those who want to tell you ????!!!! After a hearty breakfast waiting for the bus to Nimbin in front of the hostel. The flyer read that the bus tour is called "Happy coach" ... I tell you just that! In the distance we see a bus scassatissimo all those who advanced with a lot of reggae music to the ball ... Can you ever be our ??!?! Of course it is! A guy goes down rasta with a smile on the lips (after we understand why!) ... It seemed as if included in the sale of the bus there was also the driver: what a unique and inseparable! The type is very imaginative and dare I say "very crazy," even though his English australianissimo not allow me to understand everything, but that's okay too ... It's funny just to look at him! It is expected a day of laughter!
arrive in Nimbin after an hour and a half turns and bends, step off the bus in your pocket with the advice of a guru: watch out for cookies or cakes you eat, there may be ingredients that your mother does not usually use to make desserts ! Well! You all understood what kind of place is this! It really looks like back in '68, you see some characters around! The village consists essentially of a single street full of souvenir shops, food shops and stores where they sell a myriad of herbs and natural medicinal products (so as not to be too explicit!). Can not miss the museum in the country, which turns out to be anything but a museum! All sorts of junk hanging everywhere, old newspaper articles for the liberalization of soft drugs, mega banners with phrases always on the same theme, there's even a picture of the Mona Lisa with a spliff in hand, fantastic! And in the context could not be missing some characters trying to sell you the impossible ... This is Nimbin dear friends! Let's go back to Byron to enjoy the last sun before leaving the next morning to the unknown Gatton! Ready, Set, Go!
