Mar 16, 2005 - On the road to New South Wales
after a wonderful week spent in Melbourne with my family i decided it was time for me to move on. Albury is my first stop in New South Wales, i have come here to do some fruit picking for a couple of weeks before heading towards Sydney and the Blue Mountains. ... I called them up and spoke to the owner, she invited me down to the site where they are staying in Albury for an interview. ... She paid for my taxi and i headed down there feeling rather excited, is this the big adventure that you only ever read about? Am i going to tour Australia and get paid to do it? I sat in the office with the owner as she took me through what my job was to do, it was very easy just selling tickets, she showed me my accommadation and inside the arena.after a wonderful week spent in Melbourne with my family i decided it was time for me to move on.

Feb 14, 2005 - Rodeo und so
Ich bin mittlerweile wieder in Albury (diesmal nicht mit dem Zug, sondern mit dem Bus, keine Katastrophen und billiger war's auch), sieht so aus, als ob ich diesmal wirklich ein bisschen arbeiten koennte. ... Am Wochenende war ich beim Rodeo, das war ne ziemlich lustige Veranstaltung fuer die australische Landbevoelkerung.Ich bin mittlerweile wieder in Albury (diesmal nicht mit dem Zug, sondern mit dem Bus, keine Katastrophen und billiger war's auch), sieht so aus, als ob ich diesmal wirklich ein bisschen arbeiten koennte. ...

Immernoch 40 Grad, ich werd mich nie wieder ueber's Wetter in Sydney beschweren! Wie soll das bloss im Outback werden, ich geh ja hier schon fast ein. Ich bin grad in Albury, genau auf der Grenze zwischen New South Wales und Victoria. ... Das Staedtchen ist ganz nett, auf jedenfall schoener als Wagga und der Backpacker in den ich abgestiegen bin ist ein bisschen chaotisch aber sehr, sehr witzig.Immernoch 40 Grad, ich werd mich nie wieder ueber's Wetter in Sydney beschweren!

Nov 13, 2004 - Out of hostel world, hurrah
Longest drive of the trip so far, inland to Albury to stay with Marie (a friend of Iains). ... Beautiful scenery the whole way - rolling hills, lightly wooded, with the greenery of the coast gradually (ie over 100's of K's) giving way to more golden grasses that were more reminiscent of California than the state's namesake.Longest drive of the trip so far, inland to Albury to stay with Marie (a friend of Iains). ...

Oct 25, 2004 - Albury NSW, Wodonga Victoria!
30am bus to Albury, which takes 8hrs - I'm now 3. ... Shane - I now understand where you get it from!!! It's great to find a place where everyone is well into Friday night drinkies - just like home!! It actually feels quite English down here - both the landscape (very green & hilly) and the buildings - a lot of brick, as opposed to wood in Queensland Sat 23/10 Sunny Hoorah! The sun doth shine! Deidre and I went into Albury this morning, I explored whilst she went to work for a while. ... After lunch it stopped raining, and the sun came out with a vengeance! About 2pm Deidre and I decided to go for a little drive to Rutherglen, of wine fame, and had a look at their huge wine bottle - it's actually a water tower, which is a shame - maybe we could do the Jesus thing and turn it into wine!!! Then we went to the Pickled Sisters (appropriate!) winery for our afternoon aperitif! That was very pleasant, although not as scenic as yesterday! We have decided that it should be an obligatory weekend activity here - there are so many different wineries to visit - the only trouble is that someoune has to drive! Graeme suggested going out to dinner tonight, but neither of us could summon up the enthusiasm, and of course Deidre would have ended up driving, so we stayed in and had pizza!!! Mon 25/10 Hot Beautiful morning, I was woken by bright sunshine through the window, and the birds singing - bliss! I really enjoy being woken early to that - not so keen on being woken by the pitter patter of raindrops - which has been far too common of late! Went into Albury with Deidre at 10am and did a mass 5hr time waste. ...
