DE NIRO'S Just arrived in Australia

Ive been off line for a few days,as ive moved to OZ for a year,planning on working and traveling around the Country,stopping with my bro for the time being,so should have access to this site for the time being.

Just getting over the jet lag of a 20 hour flight in total. :rolleyes:

Anybody ever been travelling in OZ,can anybody recommend any sights or things to do,if so please let me know.

Currentley in Brisbane

Wow! That sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, I've never been down under, but it sounds like you and your brother are going to have a fantastic time. Enjoy!

How nice DeNiro! I've never been to Australia either. I know a few who have, and everyone who has only has nice things to say about it. You're there for a year???? Wow!

Have a wonderful time.

TIS

That's what I'm saying TIS, you moved for a year? Just needed a change of scenary for the time being then it's back to jolly old England? Well enjoy yourself and be safe!

Woah have a great time man, glad you got there safe. Keep us up to date and envious!

How awesome, DE NIRO!!!

My grandparents are the only ones I know who have been there, and they seemed to really enjoy it.

Glad you made it safely, and I hope you enjoy yourself!

Don't we have a member from Australia here? Liz? I know Anton the Penguin is from New Zealand--a fine young chap if you get the chance to "meet" him online. Liz is a darling too, but she's never around here anymore.

Good luck and enjoy your adventures mate. I wish I was out there right now.

Friends of mine lived in Perth for a year...said it was brilliant.

Oh De Niro, thats nice Australia huh. I recommend you to visit Melbourne, there's nice chilled weather although i dont know how its like there right now. The only city i've been in Aus, its got nice architecture, slick restaurants and great atmosphere. If you happen to go there and you like cultures, try going to Victoria St, its like a Vietnamese town with nice Viet restaurants too. Also one place called St Kilda or somethin along those lines, pretty interesting too. Hope you have fun

Forgot to mention, also in Melbourne, Luna Park. Its nice

You still in touch w/ Anton, Capo? I haven't seen him in forever and was wondering what happened to him.

i'll keep you updated on my progress.thanks for all the nice comments.

Ill just be chilling out for a couple of days,then the real fun starts on monday

You should go to Surfer's Paradise

I'm pretty sure it is close to Brisbane

I went there 2 years ago and loved it

The first time i went in November,my bro took us up there,its was lovely place,its bout an hour's drive from where i am

Isn't that Beutiful

The last time I spoke to him in any real depth was Christmas Eve (Christmas Day for him, with time zones). He was on MSN a few weeks ago, but not for long.

Australia is definitely on my "to-do"-list for the future.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the time down under, De Niro!

Just the usual...Sydney opera house, ayers rock, diving off the great barrier reeef. Enjoy it deniro!

I was thinking of climbing Sydney bridge,but scared of heights

Ive been stoping in backpacking place for the last few days,been having lots have a drink and partying,meeting some great people

Have a tinny for me, mate!

Aww, Capo, thanks for calling me a darling.
I'm a Melbourne girl, and Luna Park is definitely worth checking out. Crown Casino is also really cool, the best casino in Australia I reckon, although Tasmania has very little else going for it so theirs is alright too (no offence to any of you Tassie people). St Kilda is indeed interesting, and if you find you like it there King's Cross in Sydney is also worth a peek. Although the beaches in St Kilda are really nice. It's not really beach weather at the moment though, it was freezing today and it's raining right now.
Surfer's is really gorgeous if you make it up to Queensland, plus you get to see the famous Big Pineapple... A lot of touristy stuff to do up in Queensland.
And if you get to Sydney, you gotta climb the bridge. I did it recently and it was amazing. We also went on a night time cruise of Darling Harbour, that was really nice.
Have a great trip!

Im about an hours drive from Surfers,thinking of going in a couple of weeks.

Sc will have a beer for all you guys

ive been in oz 4 months,Its been a while but thought i would let you know what ive ben up to,

Even though i been on the boards iver haven't been telling you what im doing,thats if you care since From July 12th to September the 30th i was on a brocolli farm picking the bluddy things it was terrible,hot weather,boring job,i was only doing it cause i spent all my money in the city,and also if you do 3 months harvesting works you have a better chance of getting an extra years working visa so i have the option to come back before i am 30.I have met a great German girl names Alxandra,so we are travelling together,if could be the real thing but its just that she lives in another country.

On monday we are going on a 11 day tour of fraser island,the biggest sand island in the world,and whitsundays were i will be sailing for 3 days with a group of people,it should be cool,ill post pictures when i get them

I've been to australia a number of times

It sounds like an awesome time, DE NIRO!

Keep on keepin' on!

Thanks SC it really is

Sailed around these islands last week really was amazing



Hoping to find work this week

Ive been in Oz for 8 months travelling this beautiful country,seen many great things met many people from all over the world.met my girlfriend who is from germany.

We will be leaving Australia on the 23rd Feb and will be spending a couple on months in germany travelling around hopefully staying for the world cup in june

I am sad to be leaving this great country but excited to be discovering another country with my girl.

I hopefully will be online just as regular

Jesus; great news, man! Glad all things are going well with ya. It must be amazing, it really must.

Glad to hear you're having a great time. I'm envious. Just a logical question though. How are you supporting yourself?

Ive been doing of alot of farm work helping them to pick friut ,its been tough but well worth it

Well, DeNiro, looks like you're having a great time! Just out of curiosity, are you going to Germany to live there with your girlfriend or are you going back to UK anyway?

Best of luck in any case, my friend!

Well first of all im going to germany to "meet the Parents" then im ganna study german,i should be in germany for a few months and we'll see what happens after that.If ganna be a lot of fun

Did you do any traveling through Western Australia? Anyone who has ever seen the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence can then visualize the beauty of that part of the country.

In my younger years I lived in Exmouth, which is about 750 miles north west of Perth - right on the Indian Ocean.

Nothing like the reefs in Australia. Planning to go back very, very soon.

Good luck with your travels!

Western Oz was the only state i didn't visit
