I thought I'd ask a Travel Australia question, to keep the whingers happy. No-one can accuse this of being a political question. My best place was Parliament House in Canberra - where I saw the portrait of that great statesman, Bob Menzies...

I'm going to list you the stuff I have, that I COULD bring. If you could just give me some tips, tell me what I should worry about, what I need to buy etc. So, this is stuff I HAVE, not that I am definitely taking. Keep in mind, 'Am taking' means I'll more than likely take it, unless you say...

Hey there, In the past couple of years I've spent hoboing around the states, I've realized that most harvest and seasonal work here pays shit for wages. And since I've seen most of the U.S. already anyway, I've decided to do the Aussie hobo thing and save up some money to get over to Australia...

I spent 3 years living in the australia. It is fairly easy to find a job if you are dedicated and hard-working. The australia visa is the hardest part of the whole experience but I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I am thinking of sailing out to NZ and Australia next year, and I'm looking for some book, zine, and movie recommendations from the locals to familiarize myself with the regional context.
