i am a retired Aussie in my 60s and like a lot of other people living the grey nomad lifestyle we travel this country extensively., We are currently doing a lap right around the mainland with a caravan from the cities, the small country towns to the remote outback regions. There are 2 things that stand out more and more every time we hit the road. The pubs, clubs, restaurants, tourist attractions, resorts, accomodation etc. are all being staffed by foreigners here on some type of temporary visa. The other thing which is even more confronting for me as an Australian is that every service station regardless of brand or remoteness is now being run by Indian staff. How are so many Indians been allowed to come here on temporary visas to do unskilled work we dont even have a WHV agreement with India ? This government is selling out the country as well as the future of young Australians with their BS immigration policies.

Omg, i was planning to go on a WHV in January and now im so worried 😢 im hoping its easier for me because im not plannng to stay in Sydney and id love to work on a farm or something but be near thw beach, do you know where would be good?

door knock and ask there heaps of job they will not came to you

the van should be called "Mildred"

Hi, new subscriber happy Wednesday afternoon and happy winter season and you are amazing supporter

You're on a working holiday so of course prioty will be given to Australians, the tourist or retail jobs pay a decent enough hourly salary with more flexiblity.

Putting the address of hostels for those things should be common I guess, right ?

Snobby backpackers are the worst kind tho

There are many technical jobs opening there as per their government data, computer networking,cybersecurity,programmers,doctors people should consider that.

Enjoy the scenery !

That’s how refugees feel. They were doctors etc too in their country and they work at supermarkets in the UK.

Cutiful ❤️

Beautiful

i'm so happy to see you good! at the first time watching your video, you look so sad by didn't catch the job. congratulations! have a great days!

Many young folk don’t know how difficult it was in the past to find work, it’s starting to get back to how it was decades ago. The whole working holiday lifestyle is maybe coming to end.

Rather innocent bearing in mind there are 70 things that can kill you in the the Australian environment.i

You want to give up England for a hole like Australia. Good luck! You have to deal with the people there.

English and Irish invaders have been moving from the UK to Australia for the longest bringing their bad behaviour and racism with them to Australia hence why racism is bad in the UK and Australia.

I am so glad you made the best of your time with all that rain . During summer Queensland had the monsoons which consists of Cyclones, torrential rain and floods .This can have sone effect on the weather down the East Coast. Sydney only had a bit of rain but mainly sunny weather . It is May now and we are heading for winter . You are a great cook Great video thank you .

Enjoy your trip and driving .

Love to see people experience in Australia and Sydney. I enjoyed watching 👍👍👍

Lol. I'm paraphrasing: "If we have to do a job we hate and have to live in a crappy place because of the price of housing, the benefit of the outdoor lifestyle might not be worth it". Hello. Welcome to 2.5 million Sydneysiders real life. Australia is an expensive place to live and the divide between those who can just afford to live and those who enjoy a wonderful lifestyle without financial worry is getting wider. You love the lifestyle, the beaches etc, which is great, but most locals can't afford to live near the coast. I'm not sure what jobs you were expecting to walk in to on your working holiday visa, but plenty of Australians aren't working in the the fields they studied for, or working to capacity. Unemployment figures are low, but the real figure to look at is 'under-employment'. People only offered short-term contracts, or less hours, part-time, casual status without paid leave. Many people are now working multiple jobs just to cover the increased cost of living. Australia is a wonderful country to live in, with an enviable outdoor lifestyle, but it's not handed out, you have to work hard.

Next time you go to the Blue Mountains , head for Lockley Pylon or Butterpoint box loop track . You have to go on a dirt track road at Leura and it winds around the mountain and you see stunning views of the valley . The beauty is so raw and there is no fencing . There is only a hand full of people . The valley is forested and there is a winding river too ! Not many tourists know about it . There are a lot of hidden gems in NSW , that tourists don’t know about . Thank you for your amazing video .

Nice work. Are feeling okay about the pay rate?

Good stuff

I got a kia rio manual. Had it now 13 yrs and still good car. 👍

Congratulations! Soon you'll be sounding Aussie on these vids rather than Pommy... ;)

The good thing is working in the car rental business you should be able to get contacts and knowledge of looking and getting a good van or something to travel around in.

Congratulations 🎉🎉

How you liking Australia xx

That’s great news, Rental car can be so much fun to work in.

Hey! I hope your having the best time over in aus. I’m planing a move from the uk this year, I watched your video saying it’s harder than people make out to find work. As a uk citizen could you recommend anywhere to find work while there? Thanks for any help 🫶

I'm disgusted with this new generation of people that give up on the UK too soon. And for what? Just some piece of dirt with mostly uncouth people, most having criminal roots? We know the history of that place and we know what those people are like.

if being a country full of convicts is your thing than you won't be missed here in England. We don't need you.

My wife and I move down under in 1974. No regrets ever.

I've come across your video this morning I'm actually looking to do this in 2 years time by that time I will be turning 34 but I'm hoping after spending 2 years in Australia with money saved from there and go on and travel around South east asia 🌏 personally I think being in a city is the worst everyone wanting to be in Sydney or Melbourne alot of competition there I'm guessing why not go further out Try somewhere although when I come over i will be giving up everything here like job and living at home etcc I've known for a long time I wanted to travel but this time I will have total 12 years retail day work and night work so

Good job Claire. It's bloody awkward that you seem to need a physical address from day 1 in the country to make anything happen!

Did you use public transport and taxis all the time? Is car hire/rental worth it in Sydney? We like to walk, so is there a lot can by seen just by walking around?

UJ is finished due largely to massive third world immigration courtesy of Tony Blair.

Can't belive that it's the same country that bred the best Authors and Playwrighters on the planet. From Shakespeare to JK Rowling.This is how we Indians see this nation. But everything is destroyed becauce of multiculturalism and islamic immigration along with their orthodox mindset has toppled everything. Please save it 😢😢😢

When in Brisbane take a trip to Redcliffe , it is just north of Brisbane you can actually see the High Rise of Brisbane in the distance from Clontarf Beach where i live. Redcliffe is a Peninsula and there is beaches there which you will not see in Brisbane . Why not look up Redcliffe in Google Earth and have a sticky beak. My Wife and i came here in 1964 and it is a very clean place and the foreshore is beautiful. All the best when you come here .

Blue bottle stingers get blown into East Coast beaches by Northerly and North East winds. The liquid the Life Guard used would have been vinegar which neutralises the effects of the sting.

Hi Claire. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I can sympathize with you greatly. Currently in Melbourne on the holiday work visa and disappointed by the job market. It’s even hard for native Aussies to find a job. Everyone is on the casual type of work. Full time is almost non existent. Public transportation sucks, groceries are expensive and the cost of living is ridiculous for the crap that it is. The money isn’t right either. All the talk of Australia having high minimum wage doesn’t matter because after tax and low hours of work you made nothing.I’ve been here for a month and deciding to leave by the end of the next month. It’s just not worth it. I’m a bit upset because I had high hopes and did my research. Printed out copies of my resume, got as many certificates and updated qualifications, saved up at least 10k before leaving the states etc… I feel like I did everything possible and still I got nothing. It’s month 2 now and I’m regretting coming here. If I wanted to struggle I could’ve just stayed in the states. I wasn’t really struggling back home, just working extra hard and wanted out of the “rat race”. I’m glad I saved enough to leave. Hopefully things get better in Australia, but I think it just wasn’t for me. I hate to be a downer and would love to encourage you, but I saw way more cons than pros while living here.
