Victoria - the job searching starts

11.12.2012

We arrived Werribee yesterday, we are going to stay here for 5 days and look for jobs, if we are lucky we extend our stay here. Since we were in Durras we have been driving 980 km. Our first stop was at Lake Tyers Beach. Here we got to see the most beautiful sunset, standing on the beach. We had a 180 degrees view of the sea, nothing in front of us, we felt like we were looking into the eternity. The sky had so many colors and together with the clouds it was a picture to remember. We took some photos but we didn’t have the skills with the camera to capture the whole scene.

The next day we drove to Blairgowrie, between Rye and Sorrento, arrived late so we had just time to make dinner and then it was bedtime.

Yesterday when we arrived here in Werribee we tried to call someone who had put out an ad about jobs when we were in Queensland deciding to head south. But they didn’t pick up the phone. After several attempts reaching them we decided spending the time on getting us a tax file number. We got help at the information center and at a news agent were they have the forms, but we ended up applying on the internet at a library where we got free internet access. We are staying at a caravan park in Werribee South, there is no internet access here so that makes the whole searching for jobs a bit harder because we have to get into the town center to get on the internet and to use public phones. And since we have a tent outside our car we have to pack everything up and down just for a trip to town. But that’s the charming side of camping life. Everything is taking a bit more time…

The job searching continues. Yesterday we got to send some mails and are now hoping for positive feedback. This morning we met a Danish couple in the caravan park where we are staying. They were on their way home after 3 months here. We got some Christmas decorations and some supplies from them so now our car got a hint of Christmas inside. It’s getting warmer, something we are very satisfied with, but the mornings are still freezing so we are not up when the birds start singing like earlier.
