Day 2 in Oz land

Right, so just got up on day 2 of being in Oz, I got up at 6AM. So not quite working the right time zone but I'm getting close.

Last night was fun, and interesting. Drink were about $8 a pint!! which is about £5-6, far too much for the local lager if you ask me, and the bar here is one of the cheapest around.  A couple of people I met with snuck in and brought a six-pack of lager (VB) for $30.  Not only alcohol, I got my new mobile number yesterday +61458934750, the sim cost me $30 and had to call them up (Telstra) and give them my details like passport number and personal details before they even activated it, night mare.  A text to a Gsy number is about 30cents and a call is nearly $1 per min.

FYI I dont have a postage address at the moment, and will most likely not have one until I get a full time job which wont be next week but the week after.

Today we may be going to Australia Zoo, which is the late Steve Irwin's zoo, would love love love to go, although it is about $58 to get in and an hour worth of buses each way, but we'll see.  Or,we may be going to learn to surf, either way, want to do something with my day.

Its starting to sink in where I am, it's been a bit strange as it just feels like a small UK city but with a few minor changes, it wont be until I get to the outback that'll make me go "Whoa, i'm in Australia".

Spoke to few people last night who have been working on ranches all over Oz, and they all say it was the most amazing thing they have ever done.  After all the horror stories of how I'll have to castrate bulls and shoot wild camels (yes, camels), learnt that I can expect to earn about $100-$150 per day including food and accomodation, which is not bad at all :D

I made a quick video for the blog, ok, not quick its about 8 mins long, but shh!!

My VIDEO :D

Will post again either before I go or when I get to the training centre.
