Shepparton Travel Blogs

Background: Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.

Bushdoof Oceania » Australia » Victoria » Shepparton
So this past weekend we went to the Bush to go to a rave at a camp ground. It was about a 2-3 hour drive. When we got there we set up shop...which means we prepared the van to sleep for later that evening and got into our costumes. The party's theme was magical creatures. I dressed up as a fairy and my friend went as a bat fairy...which ended up looking like the evil fairy. The party ran from noon util 5 pm the next day. The party was a blast and then returned home to Melbourne the next day. [View Full Entry]

Fast auf den Tag genau 4 Wochen war ich nun in Shepparton, ein kleines Nest (fuer australische Verhaeltnisse gross!!!) etwa 2 Stunden mit dem Zug von Melbourne entfernt. Direkt im Erntegebiet von Victoria kommt hier jeder nur zum Arbeiten, sprich fruit picking her, entweder um schnell Geld zu verdienen oder auch die drei Monate fuer das zweite Visum endlich hinter sich zu bringen. Ich bin mit Sandra und Annika gereist, die ich in Melbourne kennengelernt habe. Beim fruit picking waren wir wenig erfolgreich (pears, tomatoes...), weil man oft pro Bin (riesige Holzbottiche,ca. 300-400kg) bezah [View Full Entry]

Der letzte Abend!
...es geht auch ohne Fernseher...

Great Ocean Road Hey folks! We left off last time leaving the Grampians, we headed south after this for the Great Ocean Road, a Great Road by the Ocean. In our case filled by 4x4's loaded with eskys (that's a coolbox for poms!), towels and kids off on their Australia Day (or Invasion Day as a few call it!) weekend trips to the sea. The sods get yet another long weekend - any excuse!! The scenery is indeed very spectacular, and I reckon we would recommend doing the drive to anyone in this part of the world. It's got as many [View Full Entry]

G'day All!! What a boring week!!! We don't work a lot at the moment as the tomato market is full!! The Mercuris don't want to sell tomatoes as there are too many on the market as they can only be sold for less than $5.00 so it doesn't worth it. So we just stay at home watching the Australian Open which I don't mind in a way as I love tennis!!! Not too much to say then, we have a new girl who lives in a caravan next to the house, Anna who is English, she has travelled a lot for [View Full Entry]

Dear All, Before starting this entry let me wish you a merry X.mas !!! Hope you had fun ! The first few days in Mooroopna have been full of surprises and unfortunately bad ones. It was first very nice as I got to the backpackers in Mooroopna which actually was a 2Bedroom House with another bedroom which I think was the garage. The house was full of Asians especially except for a French who knew a girl who was working for the same company as me but in Paris we even know a person in common! Who would have thought I [View Full Entry]

Hey, we finally got a holiday from pear picking. It's a Sunday and I'm in the "Cyber Bunker" internet cafe thing. What can I say? Pear picking. We wake up at 5:30; end up at the farm by 6:00, and start by 6:30 as the sun is rising. We say hello to the peacock that hangs around there, grab our water bottles, then hop on the tractor and bring our bins into the trees to start picking. We stand on ladders that are about 10 feet tall. And we pick all day. 12 hours usually. It hasn't been too too [View Full Entry]

Pears for Peers

Hello again..finally. So we're living in a caravan park in Shepparton East now. The park is called the Pine Lodge. It's got internet ($2 an hour and no mouse - ...?), tennis, table tennis, swimming pool, pool table, arcades, tv, stove, microwave, fridge, BBQ, laundry ...that's about it I think. The thing is I haven't had much time to enjoy any of it because I've been working on a pear farm for 12 hours a day. Waking up at 5:30 and coming home at 6 or 7:30. Then pretty much eating and going to bed. But it's alright. We're managing. I'm [View Full Entry]
