Hi! I'm Ben, 28 years old from the UK. I am planning on going out to Australia around summer time this year, probably July/August time. I have no concrete plans as of yet although i'm considering doing some seasonal work to start with to gain a 2nd WHV and then after that maybe going on the Oz experience coach tour up the east coast. Its looking like i'll be travelling solo as all my friends are either married, have kids, debts or work commitments. If anyone else is in the same boat as me and fancys meeting up then drop me a line!

Hi Ben,

I was looking into getting a WHV for 12 months (I've heard if you do 3 months fruit picking, its gets extended for a further 12 months) and planning to leave about July or August. I also have no concrete plans and joined here to try and meet someone to go with.

My name is Trevor and Im 28 (in 3 weeks). I would love to get out there and see some more of the world.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for your reply, yeah if you do 88 days seasonal work you qualify for the 2nd WHV which I think i'm going for as Australia looks awesome and I know i'll probably wanna go back! I'm leaving around July/August time too so thats cool, add me on facebook if you want - Ben Taylor (Manchester network)

Cheers,

Ben

Hello mate,

Just searched for you but there are 32 Ben Taylors in Manchester. Whats your picture or you can add me. Trevor Brett (my pic is me sat on a sofa with a blue t-shirt on)

Although, it might be a picture of a Southampton v Portsmouth FA cup ticket by the time you get on here.......
