Week 40 - 43 job and money... / 工作與錢

After the trip of central Australia, no money to travel anymore! I tried to find job in Darwin, but nothing... then I moved to Cairns, part of Queensland!

In my original plan, I can found some job in Queensland then goto sky diving and diving! Both famous event in Queensland! Especially diving in Great Barrier Reef! This is one of "must do" of diver while passing Queensland... but I have no money to do it! After arrived Cairns, I start to looking for job, I've got a job in a small town called "Charters Towers" finally. It a purning job in vineyards. Pull out unwanted branch of vine, then cut off unwanted branch and roll it on wire...

A low pay hard job but better than nothing... But when we got the salary, we found the payment is under a wrong calculation... moreover, up to now I still cannot get the second week payment! (This work just last for 2 weeks!)

No matter what happen, I still need to looking for job, because I still have no money! Next job is in Caboolture... a small town near Brisbane... at the result, I wait for 1 week and do nothing there... so I decide to leave and move to Brisbane... at that moment, I had just about 8 weeks left in Australia... I want to back to Perth to meet some friend and prepare to back to Hong Kong, so I decided to stop looking for job in Queensland and ready to back to Perth...

嚴重缺水的時間(我指缺錢),所以一到CAIRNS就開始找工作了!最後‧‧‧找到了一份在CHARTERS TOWERS的剪枝工作,一定程度算是惡夢的開始‧‧‧

在CHARTRRS TOWERS住得蠻不錯的,六個人分租一個很大的房間,裡面還附一個SPA浴池,但工作實在不怎麼樣,薪水還可以,但我第一次嘗試到被拖薪水了!(已經遁法律途徑申訴,另會開新篇寫一下)

這段日子認識了不少朋友,雖然不寬裕,但也是很好的經驗。但還是沒有錢,不可以玩,所以再找工作了‧‧‧之後移動到了一個名為CABOOLTURE的小鎮,這個地方則很靠近BRISBANE了。有點遠離我本來想玩的CAIRNS‧‧‧但想著有工作就好,所以也不介意啦!但最後‧‧‧在CABOOLTURE還是等了一週也沒有工作。

在這個時間點,剩下的時間不多了,再等下去,旺季要到七月中至七月尾才開始‧‧‧因為我本來的計劃是最後的時間回PERTH過的,為了在離開前探一下朋友,也抄回一些義工時的相片(義工朋友都住那邊),所以再留下去也沒甚麼意思了。因為不能馬上開工存錢‧‧‧

所以在CABOOLTURE等了一週就走了,這之前也先從香港再拿了點錢過來,在薪水被拖欠,我又不想在分手時還欠台灣朋友錢‧‧‧所以就拿了一些錢過來,先還給台灣朋友,再剩下一些當作生活費了。

錢花成這樣,老實說,在旅程開始前是沒有想過的。但發生時,也唯有認了吧~
