Ready for the trip of a life-time?

Today, you can find Italian, Greek and other restaurants all over the county. Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink, but many Australians also like to drink wine that grows in the southern and south eastern part of the continent. Older people still drink lots of tea —like in Great Britain—but younger ones drink more and more coffee.

Australian Way of Life

It took 6 hours on a train and 6 hours on a big bus driving through small country deserted roads, in the middle of the night with me as the only passenger, wondering where in the hell am I going. When I arrived at the bus stop in Condobolin I was picked by one of the local town butchers who lived at the Pub where I too would be staying. I met my boss and a few of my co workers in the bar that night and everyone seemed to be really friendly. Madalon my boss seemed nice enough and I was relieved to find out that this is not a classy bar and manners and being well dressed are definitely not required.

I spent the next 2 months working in ripped jeans, thongs, and any t-shirt I decided to wear that day. Over the next few days I was eased into the role of working behind the bar, taught how to pour beers, work the cash machine, and work in the bottle shop.

How I ended up in the Outback...

I was introduced to people some who I enjoyed seeing every day and some who I wouldn't mind never seeing again. The work was easy enough with some nights it be incredibly busy behind the bar and other times where I would sit around for 3 hours reading the paper or a book or watching TV while I was getting paid. The people I worked with were absolutely great and helped me ease right into the condobolin lifestyle which revolves heavily around the bar.
