Looking for any communities in or around Sydney or any advice on other places to look? Wanting to learn more about the scene present in Sydney and Australia in general. From my understanding it seems not as much is happening these days - no new posts on this forum for nearly 2 years

Continuing my overrunning of to Oceania forum and desire to share photos... Upon returning to my home town (I guess I can call it that now, it's more or less been home base since I was 13) after a few months on the road, I felt the need to get out almost immediately. Suburbia irks me. Luckily...

I've had a keen interest in animals for a long time. I've helped with research and conservation efforts and volunteer with wildlife rescues. Sometimes it's just nice to watch. Here's a taste of the Aussie fauna I've seen over the past week or so. Eastern water dragon. Byron Bay, NSW Goanna...

So, feels a little weird to do but I've recently got a job driving tourists buses/trucks around and helping out on boats. Easy money, and free travel. It's pretty rad. Spent the past too weeks going from Sydney to North Qld. Have some pretty pics... The trusty Rosa I was driving. Lunch...

Spent a bit of time in the NT recently, couldn't believe how many people were flocking to climb Uluru before the ban comes in this October. It's not my place to share the intricacies of why (aside from it being terrible for the environment, eroding the rock and the fact it's fucking tough...

Hey yall. Planning on heading to Australia very shortly. Looking for full time work for all of august preferably with accomodation around NSW or Victoria. My job of choice would be beekeeping but keen on any work. I have experience beekeeping, picking, planting, and also hold qualifications in...

Do real people ever actually use that expression? I've heard it in White corporate messages, but I'm not sure I've ever heard it from a real person, much less a Maori. The whole Maori language thing here is super cringey. Maori are cool, but this bizarre obsession with their culture isn't. It...

Down the South Eastern corner of the beach is a Public Toilet, Changing room and Shower. Good space for freedom camping. The road is treating me well so far.

where are they? I've heard of Nimbin and Byron Bay but from what i've heard theyre no longer the true havens of alternative living. Anyone got a suggestion for a finding a community with sensible values?

Off to Melbourne in February for 3 months before heading north anyone done any bike messenger work that way?

Does any one know what will happen if you are caught overstaying your visa in Australia? Please, No speculation... If you have done this or know anyone who has successfully, Please comment. The Visa processes down here are ridiculous! They are the highest cost and the longest time frames to...

Repost due to my old account carking it and not displaying any of my old threads. Pics from ground level will be in another thread soon. Hope you enjoy

I love sharing photos, and there is never much going on in the Oceania section of StP so I thought I'd share some more! Ended up going up and down the East Coast of Australia (between Brisbane and Sydney) a couple of weeks back. The main aim was catching up with mates and sorting our some visa...

Anyone floating around Sydney or Newcastle? I'll have some time to kill in SYD on Feb 25, 26 and 27. + heading up to Newcastle for the Holy Locust/Mama's Broke show on the 27th. Let's beer...or hang our or whatever.

A couple of weeks ago I headed up to Mt. Glorious with a mate and our furry bud. We've been up there exploring a hell of a lot of times and found some great spots, but this was the best. Our general plan is to find somewhere to park where the scrub isn't too thick and the drop isn't too steep...

Hey fam. Have heard so much about the gathering on South Island here, but can't find out where it is at all. Also heard the gathering on north island was amazing. Have met lots of rainbows at festivals and in Hippie havena never been to gathering and really want to try it. Any help is immensely...

Just got my visa approved and got my tickets. Ready to go next month! Just wondering if anyone here would have tips on things. Mainly, if there are any great places to work that you know of. And what all I need for that besides visa? Tax # etc. Anything that I really shouldn't miss? Great...

Any of you lovely creature from or around the Northern Rivers in NSW? I need a quick little escape from homebase in Brisbane and am thinking of heading down for a few days soon (maybe next week 13th-16th July). Either camping, or given the weather, finding a cheap hostel and just vegging out...

Hi all :) Sooo, I am on the eve (not literally, it's gonna be in August) of an hitch-hiking trip across Australia, starting Sydney and hopefully ending in the Outback. I am after any advice about hitchiking or train hopping in that country, also ideas as to where to go. I personally have two...
