Mildura Finally, Gol-gol !!


Hey, finally, i ve find a job...


After few day of job search, around Mildura with the remi's van, my new van-mate, always nothing or perhaps a wine farmer call us if he need our help...


Finally, we don't need something else to stop our job searching... We come back at the caravan Park to take advantage of the swimming pool. Yes, there is a swimming pool in our caravan park, it's a four stars !!!


In my last article, i said « i m waiting someone call me for an easy job », so when we leave the swimming pool, the caravan park boss, comme and tell us about a job on his camping...

We ve got a big sand storm for 2 day, so there is a lot of work on the park.


After few dead leafs and a clean caravan park later, the grappes framer call us about the work. We begin on sunday !!!


It's bad begin for me. Because, sunday work is as i have to do shopping on an activities area after 10PM... it make me sick !!! But i can't say no, because, it's long time, i waiting for a job in Australia !


Sunday morning, it's already 6AM, i wake up. It's for a long time i don't see the night in the morning !! Motivated, i get ready to going to the field, like we said in britanny.


I arrived at 7AM, i meet Barry, the boss. He explain to me the job... i do grappes picking for dry grappes... Again, it's a bad new for me, because i don't taste the wine !!!


Barry tell to me about the paid. $71cts, the bin...before tax, after tax it's $65cts. Big motivation for this day who begin at 7AM, We stop at 10AM for the lunch who's maid by the wife of the chief, delicious. I meet my colleague of picking, two deutch man and two old people.


After eight hours of hard works, i closed my day, quick calculate...$50 for the day of works, 3,2€/hours. The extrem liberal politics ! It's too for me, after two day, i go to see my boss and tell about my disagree!!!

Finally, i stop my job, i don't want working for few cents...

Alex follow me and stop is job too... he goes on backpacker to find another job. I stay with Gael, Mathilde and Rémi...

The rest of the week, we design a new van and the evenning we play poker...

Now, i share the remi's van. It's a good think for cheap travel !!!

This evenning, the van design is finish, Gaël and Mathilde leave us and go to Adélaïde. Rémi and me go to Grampian National Park and after we will do the Great Ocean Road !! The trip beguin now !!! We have to see beautiful thing...

Take care
