    So, I'm going to backpack through South Pacific this autumn and will be away for at least one year.
    Anyone applied for for working holiday visa in Oz or Nz? Is it easy to find some part time jobs?

    Any tips of good stops, hostels, highlights etc? Want to surf, dive and do some rock climbing.

    Thx! =)

    I don't know but I just visited your page, and I must say it must be good to have money to visit all those countries ;)

    Finding a part-time job in Oz is like finding May's comment's on my profile....very likely.

    Just make sure your Visa and all your passports and stuff are alright, cause they are pretty strict on checking visas here.

    Surfing-Sydney has got one of the best beach in the world, def. better then Melbourne's-Check out Bondi , and Surfer's Paradise in Queensland.

    Diving-Great Barrier's Reef?

    I've only been to NZ once, but the scenery and nature is absolutely magnificent.

    Hahaa! I'm so glad to hear that, she sounds inescapable =P


    Wow Thx! Yeah, I heard a lot of ppl got troubles with their visas, so I'm gonna fix it here in Sweden before leaving.
    Thanks for all the tips =)


    Just let me know if you're heading south this coming year, then we can make some stops together =)

    So you have decided to terrorize the South Pacific region for one whole year o_O
    Do you have a travel plan of what countries you are gonna visit?
    Then I know what countries to avoid -evil
    One year South Pacific sounds like fun :D

    Not a country to avoid.. but a place to avoid would definitely be Melbourne.. Too many gang related problems there.. Murders and fights all on the news all the time :p

    On a more serous note, Candyshots, be sure to check the Australian Customs site for things that you can't bring into Australia.. cause they are really tough on it-Everyone's baggage gets screeded for organic foods (very strict on this), drugs etc.

    Hahaaa, what have I ever done to you? Hey, tell me where you are and I'll give up the SP trip and come and terrorize you instead. HA! JK, yeah one year sounds really fun... but have to work really hard before going =/ Gonna surf and climb a lot! So far I've decided to cross OZ, NZ and Fiji =)


    Oh, thanks! Really didn't know that about Melbourne...
    I'm not gonna bring so much things with me in to Aussie... But definitly a lot of things with me out =P
    Thank you once again!


    Wow, you already planed to work straight after school? Ganbatte laa =)
