Our life in Perth
Hello everyone!
I know that it has been a while since I posted an update but we have been busy sightseeing and spending time on the beach:-)
We have arrived in Perth on the 6th of January and we are still here. Initially we planned on buying a campervan immediately but since it took us longer than expected to sell our car in Belgium, we decided to rent a house in Perth and look for work.
I have worked a few nights in an Italian restaurant but the atmosphere was bad and they didn't pay that well, so I didn't continue. Bart has been working in the local golfclub for the past 2,5 weeks and he really likes it there. When he is at work, I go to the beach, so that's a good compromis:-)
We currently share a house with 3 other people in Northbridge, which is very close to the city centre. We have our own bedroom and we share the livingroom, kitchen, bathroom and garden. Our housemates work fulltime so we only see them at night which is a good thing because they are not very sociable! (I hope I didn't give them the address of this blog) :lol:
Since Bart and I wanted to do some farmwork, we decided to put an advert on Gumtree so that people could contact us. I received a call from a Danish guy last week who was looking for 2 people to work on his farm in Pinjarra (100km South of Perth) so we met him on Wednesday in Mandurah and had a good chat. He is looking for people to help him with construction work and to help with the pigs from time to time. Since he was interviewing more people, he told us that he would get back to us asap which he did on Thursday and he offered us the job!! We are both very happy because although we love being in Perth, we would like to see a bit more of Australia and I would like to work a bit (you can't go to the beach every day:-) So, we will be leaving Perth next Saturday and we will start work on Monday the 28th. We will work 5 days a week from 5 am until 1 pm which is good because that means that we will not work during the hottest hours of the day (it's still between 33 and 38 degrees at the moment) but it will probably take us a while getting used to the alarm getting off at 3.30 am... Anyway, I am not complaining because although I know that it will be hard, it will also be an adventure and I'm sure that we'll learn a lot!
The past few weeks we have done some sightseeing and we went out a couple of times with our Perth based friends KV and Sara, which was great. We have also met some new people (mostly backpackers) which has also been nice.
We haven't taken a lot of pictures so far but I'll make sure that we'll take a few before leaving Perth:-D
I'm not sure whether we'll have an internet connection whilst we're on the farm, but if not, I will go to an internet cafe to update this blog: that's a promise!
Btw: for those of you who don't know this: you can reply to my posts (so that I know that people actually read them:-) Just click on 'reageer' and leave us a message: it would be nice to hear from you!!
Cheers, Kelly & Bart
