How Do You Empty Toilet On Boat

Adelaide and Hahndorf

In Adelaide arrived
we first set up in a hostel,
which was in the red light district ...
Because we had done so in Sydney and
good experience because it was advertised as "free Internet" ...


We have a very often smiling and talkative woman from Canberra was in the room that has left her hometown for a few days to explore Adelaide and drink wine ...
She has not yet even seen sooo much of Australia and was more excited than we ... (She had not time and financial resources the opportunity to travel more often)
What has somehow reminded again that it is totally beautiful and precious, without time pressure or obligations or rules
a year
explore an entire country through travel "and to
as you want ...
Maybe I should do after the Australia trip year € ...
Germany or at least one trip to
sometimes to get to know one's home more ...

Well ...
it was then in the red light district but not so great had
To get into the hostel we stick to the opening times of the subjacent gambling bar ...
used for Internet access it is mean to the recipient,
already free but limited Internet
of Adelaide shopping street ...
was also not effective to get parking for the car ...

So we moved quickly into a different hostel ,
where "free parking" for our car was
and "free pool"
and "free breakfast"
and "Free DVD" ...

was a good decision because we were unlucky with the weather
and therefore were glad to sell our time in the hostel any meaningful way to ... We also had
nice people in the 5-bed rooms.
(Of course, only German)
And to everyone's surprise there was the regular Halloween party a good food for free! And karaoke!


To Adelaide itself, we have explored the beaches (at not be so good weather) ...
And a big free-ranging sea lions seen from up close ...


A very very impressive large gull ... (So maybe it was a seagull)
Lots of opossums in a small park in the middle of the city ...

have played football,

the relatively beautiful downtown


included visits Toy'r'us aufprobiert and hats ...


The free Museeum

exhibition with depressing Aborigeni ...
People will be issued as if they were extinct 1000 years ago .. Well, many Australians do, the probably ...
but that should not be the subject of the blog!

Oh yes ...
We even have a church service in a nice, probably Catholic, attended church ...


Was a very nice experience ... The church was almost full!


The church has, however, not significantly different from Germans ..
I was just striking that were the visitors to the worship of every possible
in origin, age and the population!

A longer trip went towards Hahndorf, a small town founded by German immigrants to be still trying German ...
On the way to Hahndorf, we believe for the first time held at a chocolate factory and Schokoladenpröbchen enjoyed ...

Then we marveled at an unguarded junkyard large vehicles! Once


In Hahndorf , we are of German weather (rain and cold)
been welcomed in a rather a blend of Bavarian Germany ...




was still some interest and if you had more money as a backpacker, you would certainly have bought some delicious things ...

I miss marzipan!

It was also just a kind of flea market and this rang very, very old German folk songs, probably from a vinyl record from all speakers ...

much to Hahndorf ... Surprisingly, I have

even
one of the rainy days
can make good use I have a job by ,
for a day (7 hours) and an unbeatable

wage of $ 150 (after tax) + a t-shirt,
got ...

I have had even more fun and learned something about the Australian waste disposal ...

Imagine a typical Australian home ...
(one floor and no basement)
You imagine it fled before leaving ...
, imagine you have to create everything from the house out, drive away with an ax and chop ...
I've done ... Computers, cabinets, vases, beds, tables, printer cartridges ...

and crushed with a man (something well his life) makes
driven to a large garbage dump ...

The garbage dump was a big hall with a giant trash compactors, which receives waste from large and small vans, lots of garbage ... This again reduced in size and compresses and
load at even larger trucks, which make up for something with any holes in the landscape ... :-)
well ...
Long live the recycling and waste separation!

If I remember correctly, there is not much more to report from Adelaide, the weather just has aroused no interest in other activities ...

So we traveled!

Gay Bathhouse Near Morristown, Nj

Broken Hill, Silverton and Menidee

After Thomas picked us up in Mildura with his car
(and we have managed to get all the luggage into the car)




... we set out to Broken Hill for us to look in the Outback to ...



have arrived in Broken Hill, we had great luck in a youth hostel ...

Do not air-conditioned rooms were free and could
us (Thomas, Sabrina, I)
only offer a twin room with no air conditioning ...
you still get a mattress that is thrown between the two existing beds and us the room for $ 10 (per person per night) left
(instead of usually around $ 20)
we did not have air conditioning because it was not hot outside ..
the contrary, it was partly
really cold and was raining heavily ...
(in the mind Outback desert ... well ...) has got the locals what
total ...
We were not soooo excited because we
by the swimming pool could not use ...



But we have still made day trips ...

example, to Silverton, where Mad-Max-think all movies have been filmed:



And where possible, in addition to all other interesting stuff ...
(the most photographed and filmed in Australia Publishing, comic artists and art objects, wild donkeys and camels fenced and a lot of "nothing" drumherrum)

addition, there is still a silver mine where we have worked ...






















... but only for the photo ;-)
We have a tour at the Australian Earth
in the 30 meter deep mine
with the beautiful name of "Day Dream Mine"
undertaken and
because an elementary school class with it and so was
questions has been how
"What do we do when we find silver"
learned a lot about the mine ...

example, that one finds no silver guaranteed
and after several questions the same question
you have us and the children even promised
that all the silver we see what we can keep
...

.. Well
otherwise we have seen a lot of these strange animals:



And there were mysterious to places like these:


(Broken Hill Sculptures)


(Menindee)

So
Broken Hill has fallen to us despite the weather very
because we had fun day and night ...



No stress, no noise and, as so often in Australia or seltsamme all nice people!

Pinewood Derby Car Space Ship

the end but a good time ... in Mildura

Hey you, it is currently
really nice .. We look
often cozy movies, play poker or go out ...


(Almost all the residents currently live in the hostel)



Also, I have worked happily last week ... completely

First, because Andrew was sick two days,
'm on the Vine ... knife Put :-)
(What do you do just the way for visa's ...)


result, I for the first time in Australia Car gone ..
or even better a Busschen ...
(with which we drive to the vineyard)

But much better

After that I could surprise
in the great company
where the girls start working
...

now I can understand also their euphoria
into which they fall were
after they had worked the first day in the company ...

short time the benefits the "Mildura-Fruit-Company"
(in which even German companies could be partially cut off a few slices)
- There is every 2 hours, paid 10 minute break in which one free tea or coffee gets exactly the way you are on may determine the date of setting yourself!
- You have a half hour lunch break, during which one may use a small kitchen to make himself a hot meal ...
- get Fridays, in the first break (also free) cakes, cookies and other goodies ...
- It is free while working on the fruits that are packed, eat and take it home with them!






















Besides these things
's even more benefits to the wine field work,
the most of all the other backpacker must make ...

- One gets more money per hour and extra money under certain circumstances, for example, I get a week 30 dollars extra because I lift heavy things ...

- You take only 5 minutes instead of an hour to work

- It has been more secure work and regulated breaks

- Man is not running behind his payslips, which one of his tax refund needs .. and also the documents for visa extension, visitors are given without fuss!

- You do not have to fight with flies and does not break (so) dirty or his things ...

- Man changes his position after each work break, so no one would be penalized if he is working on a more serious position.

I could list even more determined, at least the job is 1000 times better than anything else can get in Mildura ... (I think).

And what do you do?

The girls sort and pack oranges, tangerines, avocados, lemons ...



I lifted the boxes with the fruit on pallets ready for ... ...



This is slightly better than stupid
"stuck in the ground by plastic knives"
because here at least over the arrangement of the boxes and order of the pallet assembly to think must (at least the first few days :-)
but
in addition, can still converse while working with his colleagues,
which in turn leads to the fact that I have more English courses than before ...

The boxes weigh only up to 22 kg
but sometimes even I get's out ...
and I need not to Fitness Studio,-P

Now the bad news ...
The girls have all lost their jobs in the enterprise ...

The fruit season is over ...

you will get to know now so the farm work ...

we Until the 20.10. Mildura leave

... I have the opportunity in the great company to work on ... A
Verpackstraße is still operating and there are now some other work to do ...
(eg, cleaning up and cleaning)



Did the way, when I was look for it, without
tasty recipe and baking powder
Oatmeal cookies hammer out :-)
