Amor

Saturday went to the Victoria national gallery (it wasn't very interesting) and then to the botanical gardens...there were about 5 people getting married, well 10 people, 5 weddings. Yesterday the plan was a movie exhibition looking behind the scenes of big movies, but it was $15 so we scrapped that for the immigration museum, but that was $8 so we scrapped that for the Melbourne Museum, which should have been $8, but Emma had a student card so the lady let us both in for concession price, Free! It was a lot more interesting than the National gallery! Lots of different exhibits...a lot of info on how Melbourne was founded, stuff on the human body and mind (old news to me) and on various plant, animal and bug life in Australia and around the globe.


Still not heard from the pier where I went for an interview, but we have a job elsewhere now so not too fussed. It’s doing the hop harvest thing that we applied and got rejected for previously. The guy rang and asked if we were still interested and seeing as nothing is happening here on the job front we snapped it up. I told them there were only 3 of us here but another friend would like it if possible (Emma is in the same boat as us, not much $$$ and needing a job ASAP). He said that is fine, so all is well, and we are all more relaxed now we know we will have some cash coming in!!


It's altered out plan a little bit. The job will start the beginning of March - they still are unsure but will be the 5th - 10th, I guess they won't know when it’s ready to harvest till a week or so before. It will last 4.5 weeks so it could finish mid-April which is when we will have to leave the country. With that in mind I think we are going to spend time seeing the rest of the things here before we start that job in case we have no time afterwards. We will need a week and abit to see the great ocean road, Uluru and Alice Springs so we are going to look at doing that the end of this week/early next week.
