Charlton in Oz

JTJT
in Not Sports Related
I'm fairly sure there are plenty of Charlton over there after being on here for years..

Flying over to Perth (mate lives there) on Monday with a year long working holiday visa, one way ticket, and myself. Plan on seeing Sydney and Melbourne at some point, no real plan, but if anyone wants to meet for a beer when we are playing (or Luzon) or knows of any work in Perth, Melbs or Sydney, give us a shout.

Nice one. Be good to meet some Oz addicks. No plan to come back right now.

    I hope to do the same one day, however being engaged, having a mortgage and having a Dog doesn't really allow for it until I retire or get dumped lol!

    I'm in Canberra (a great place to live but probably not such a great place to visit!) so you'll probably not make it to my neck of the woods.

    All the best with your trip Down Under JT hopefully you'll have a unforgettable year. If you do end up in the ACT give me a shout!

    Have a lot of fun - I won't offer any advice in the assumption that the place has changed in the the 26 years since I was last there.

    Did have some mad times down there though.

    That the best they could do?! I'll give Australia one thing and that they breed seriously hot women..... Oh that's right, now I get it, they needed a hot AND intelligent woman for the show!

    Hi there JT, I arrived in Perth on the 22nd of jan also doing what you are planning to do... Working holiday visa, one way ticket and no real plan.

    How's it going for you so far?

    Well just finished my farm work for the 2nd visa, working on a banana farm in some redneck town in Queensland. Certainly an experience. They weren't the biggest fans of travellers up that way.

    Now in Sydney, just trying to get some full time work sorted. Incredible city from what ive seen already. Cold after coming from up north though.

    How was the work on the banana farm? What where the hours like there?

    Been looking for farm work for my 2nd year last month or so. Havent had much luck so far. Which company did you find it through if you remember? Looking forward to the return of summer, saying that winter here in Perth is like a decent summer back home ...

    Hope you are having a great time @JT

    Think My mate Tel who used to post on here is Sydney based so if you wanna meet a Charlton fan for a beer give me a whisper as I'm sure he'd be keen.

    And if you go Melbourne I've Charlton fam there who would also be keen

    Ring all the hostels in Innisfail @ExampleSE7. I was at Walkabout, the social there is top notch. They are working hostels so they sort you a job out within a week. Everyone in them is doing farm work.

    Bananas all year round, pay is by hour and normally 7am-4
