SO, like many I want to come visit Australia!! The Downunder!
I have several questions! And I'm hoping some of y'all can help me! (by the way I'm new here and this is my first post!)
My goal is to be in Australia in less than a year on a Holiday Visa. While I am there I actually want to WORK the full year! I want to work around horses and cattle. My main goal is to learn different horse training techniques. I am very interested in the Australian lifestyle and the beauty of the country and I can't wait to experience it!!
And the questions began...
1) I found this place online, Real Gap. They claim that they will train your for about a week and help you find jobs according to your skills. I am very interested in this..Unfortunately its about $2,000! yikes! (there is benefits included in that) My questions is...Would I have to go through a place like that to find a job? Or are ranch jobs easy to come by?
2)What part of Australia has horses, cattle and ranches? Is it all over or just NSW? I'm trying to decide on a location.
3)What is the weather like? compared to Florida USA if possible. What kind of clothing would I need to have?
4) Are the bugs really as bad as everybody makes them seem? I'm not scared of bugs but I'm also not a big fan.
5) I would like to find people from Australia to communicate with, kind of like a pen pal, How can I find something like this?
I will leave it at 5 questions for now. I greatly appreciate all answers! Thank you for you time!
Happy Trails,
