One last trip before working

Posted: May 16th, 2009 | Author: Nick | Filed under: Australia Trip, Nick | No Comments »

I got the tree planting job in Tumbarumba, New South Wales. Tumbarumba is just a little town south-west of Canberra with a population less than 1500. The weather in the winter ranges from 5 celsius at night to roughly 20 celsius during the day, so it’s perfect tree planting weather. It’s also dry season at the moment, so hopefully we won’t be planting in a lot of rain. We work 12 days on and have 3 days off and live with fellow planters in houses owned by the company. I’m actually looking forward to planting and also finally seeing the bank account go up instead of down for a change. One of Phil and Bent’s friend that I met a couple of months ago will also come tree planting with me, it’s going to be his first time and he’s pretty excited about it, much like I was before planting in Timmins.

The tree planting contract doesn’t start until June 8th, so I still have a few weeks before I head down south (I plan on heading down at the very beginning of June so I can settle a bit and meet people before working). Instead of sticking around Redcliffe, I decided to squeeze in another trip before I leave. I  booked 4 nights in a hostel in Darwin on the northern tip of Australia. I chose Darwin because even if it’s almost winter here in the southern hemisphere, Darwin still gets a high of 32 celsius, which I can definitely live with. The flights to Darwin are at odd hours, so I booked 4 nights, but I’ll be gone for 6 days.

Darwin is known for it’s crocodiles, so I’m going to try to find a tour where they show you wild crocs or maybe go to a croc farm, which they have nearby. Either than that, I haven’t really planned much, I usually like talking to backpackers at the hostels and visiting some tour booking shops before deciding what to do.
