There were more wedding related visits amongst those heading home last weekend. I chatted to a German resident travelling on a Canadian passport who was staying with relatives in the Lake Macquarie area of NSW and exploring possible locations in the Hunter Valley for her upcoming wedding. She has family & friends in Australia and Canada and had decided to hold the wedding here. So no doubt there will be a few Canadian visitiors arriving for the event. I also came across an English couple who had been in Sydney to attend their daughters wedding.
There was a young French girl on her way to New Zealand who had done a 3 month intern job at a backpackers hostel in Melbourne. Her duties were mainly reception and bar work. After her Kiwi holiday she was planning to do similar work in Perth. I hadn't realised these sorts of employment opportunities were available to working holiday visitors.
A pleasant young Polish couple were on their way home after a package tour of Australia visiting Uluru, Hamilton Island, Gold Coast & Sydney. It's not very often that I have come across tourists from Poland. I also chatted to a French couple here for 2 weeks with friends in Sydney.
Redundancy holidays are probably becoming more common in the current economic environment. I ran across an English couple in their 50's who had both recently been made redundant. They decided to have a 3 month holiday Down Under while they contemplated their future. Their stay involved around 35 different overnight stops in South Australia, Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and South East Queensland and they had a most enjoyable time.
Till next week.
