Aud 30 dollar per hour means u need to squat when u start to work cause the tobacco tree just around 1ft - 2ft high, imagine first time u squat down for 8 hour and between only have 30-45 minute rest ... the next day u can't stand up ..... smile.gif

yah casino pay very good and one of my friend working in MCD as supervisor and he can afford porsche boxter (think he make around 40++p/h:) ... smile.gif

last time my housemate went travelling w/ his missus, my mate crashed at my place for the whole month, we'd watch football, discovery channel on my housemate's foxtel, drinking and smoking on the balcony having guys' talk, cook some barbie 2am in the morning whenever we feel hungry, LAN games at my place, went fishing, camping, parties...it was SUBLIME

Wooo, well the 8 hours squat should worth the experience.
Where can you get the job anywhere near Sydney? Or is it impossible to get one in a city....

U can try summit (border or NSW n Queensland) ....
Yah is almost impossible to find a farm job in city ....

How to find ur self a job(farm, factory, office) during school holiday in Aus ?
try link below or go direct to the bakpak hostel, they have full information, where to work, what the job and everything make for backpacker but work well with student ......
the bakpak i stay in Sydney before :http://www.glebevillage.com/
Melbourne : 167, franklin street. bakpak hostel. www.bakpakgroup.com
Canberra : forget what the place name but is in the middle of the city.
Bris : Queen Street mall walk till the end (after coles) turn left, at the junction. (u see the cafe have RM 1 coin stick there, that belong to me)
Darwin : someplace near the Kmart.
Perth : City.
Adelaide : take the city tram (u see some huge bakpak)


By the way Bakpak hotel bring u more information then ur school faculty, they have work, travel, monthly magazine and bla bla information for free .....

Enjoy guy ....
