...to the other side of the world 🥳🥰

Now my birthday is also over...on Saturday we went on the whitesundayisland tour as planned. Landed on a speed boat with party music, we went to the first snorkeling spot, where...

It's back on the streets 🚘⛺️

And just like that, the month is over... It was really fun here, even though some days were really long (10-12 hours), it was worth it! The island is beautiful and my team was...

Yes, I'm still alive😁

Phew, I don't even know where to start... last week was definitely pure stress! As I mentioned before, we were looking for a job for a long time, which often took up a lot of...

Trying to ride the waves on a dolphin 🐬🏄🏼‍♀️😁

So a few days have passed and the weather has been amazing for about a week now! ☀️ A few days ago, I encountered the biggest highlight of my life: dolphins 🐬 I knew about a...

Brisbane☀️

So many days have passed again and I can't even remember what we did in the last few days 😁 Yes, the days fly by here and I can't believe it's already April! We've experienced...

Fireflies, Koalas, and much more.

We have now arrived in Brisbane and found a nice place off the beaten path where we have been for three days. Our first goal was actually to visit another national park during...

Goodbye NewSouthWales, hello Queensland👋🏼

We have spent the past few days relaxing in Byron Bay. My expectations for this small town were high, but they were fully met. A cute hippie town where walking barefoot in a...

Coffs Habour✅

Yesterday we went to a small island where the flying foxes have their "hideout". Unbelievably many hung upside down from the trees and looked at us with their bulging eyes. A...

What a coincidence!

We have been traveling again since yesterday and have already visited the next national park today. Dorrigo National Park, where there were incredible waterfalls. We strolled...

The last tree is planted.

On Friday, we actually managed to plant all the trees. Everyone expected that we would need at least until Tuesday, but➡️ great team! Our boss then told us that he would come by...

New job😊

For us, it started on Tuesday morning for the new job. We had about 6 hours of driving ahead of us. Arriving a little tired, we were already expected by the "boss". She invited...

Bondi, Blue Mountains, and good news! <p>So once again it was a quiet week. This is because as soon as we arrived in Sydney, we started looking for jobs. Every day on the internet, on various forums, we sent applications, made phone calls, and even went door to door two days ago...all in vain - UNTIL yesterday 😊 We received a direct response: we are pleased to welcome you to our farm on Tuesday. The job is about 5 hours away from our current location, but we only have our room until Wednesday anyway. We are currently visiting all the sights here in Sydney, and then the further journey fits into our plan as well! Finally, we will be paid an hourly wage, and not a small amount at that👏🏼 The job will last for two weeks initially, and we will be planting trees and tearing down fences, among other things that are typical of a farm. We are curious to see how it goes!</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, we visited the stunning Bondi Beach, where we even spent a whole day swimming and just lying and chilling on the sand😁 The water was warm and we could watch the surfers, who are famous for this beach. And by the way, surfing is also on our list of things to do 😉🌊</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, we went to the Blue Mountains, with breathtaking views. I can't say how many kilometers we hiked, but at times I thought: okay, my life is over 😂 On the way down into the forest, there were about 950 stairs, going down was manageable, but on the other side, there were just as many (if not more) going up! They were unbelievably steep at times. Thankfully, we had checked the weather beforehand, which predicted that we would only have 22 degrees today. That made things much easier. It would have been impossible to do it in the heat. The path through the woods led us past small waterfalls, bridges, and bushes. So overall, it was very beautiful! After shopping, cooking, and showering, I am now lying exhausted in bed🙈</p><p><br /></p><p>Greetings from Down Under</p>

Hello Sydney🙋🏻‍♀️

Coming closer to our destination Sydney!

We have been on the road for 3 days now heading 'up'. We have visited some spots, so we are taking a bit longer, but we have time. 🙈 We went to a national park that not even an...

Not much exciting has happened again. But fortunately, that will come to an end on Saturday, because then we will finally visit the next national park and go to Sydney. The job...

New Job!🍐

It has been a bit quieter here again... that's because we worked almost every day for about two weeks and then nothing exciting happened. We then decided to move to a different...

First encounters with the animal world ☺️

The week went by quickly again, especially when you're at work every day. That's why we thought, as a reward, let's go to the first big National Park on the weekend. The couple...

First day of work!

36 degrees and it's getting hotter 🥵

After finding a campsite near our workplace yesterday, we were exhausted, cooked ourselves something delicious to eat, and went to 'sleep'. Why in quotation marks? Because I...

Our new home😊

Well, it has been very quiet here for the past few days. Well, there wasn't much to report because I was waiting in vain for my money from Germany... The reason it took so long...

Auto is over the MOT🥳

Today the car was at the MOT (TÜV) and we found out that it is handled much stricter here in Melbourne/Victoria than in other states of Australia. Of course, we were all worried...
