Parkings

Capervan fellowers I welocome You again. Cause I wanna explain You no to park your veicle here in Oz.
Think it's simple? I come from a tradition that has been killed in italy, got the place yo can park. No fines. Then The privatization and greed of council managers started to ask money to park me car. Fuck 1eroper hour. Year 2000. The situation in Oz is worse my brothers.

Check the signs where you park your vehicle, if there is a camper van drawing in a red circle and crossed means " NO overnight stay" So we're fucked. If you're there, and too tired take the place guys, but security may come politely and not saying to move. Normally they never come back, but they are allowed to put fines up to 2500$. NOT Joking. Well no one pays it but if yar thinking to come back they'll you to pay first before giving you the OK. Political Strict Economical times man. Check V for Vendetta.

In the cities me friends DO NOT PARK EVERYWHERE: FINES! Need to ask around to fellow Oz people where to find free spots in the cities an normally it's not very center and primary roads.

The NO STOPPING bring to 201$

The P parking allows up to 1 hour, then move the car and park it back after the guy passed :-(
The 2 P : 2 hours same tecnik

Otherwise 86$

Check where to sleep guys this place is turing into hypocrisy. Built by travellers now is sending away its roots. In the nature out of the cities sleep in a nice place, check a place with no lights for better sleeping, away from traffic, TRUCKS ARE NOISY! And always put a knife near ya. Ya never know.

Internet

If also for you 3 or 4 dollars an hour is too much and ya got a laptop, every McDonalds has a free wifi and no one gives a shit if you stay there the whole day. They also have plugs where to recharge  laps and mobiles.

The handicaps toilets are pretty big so you can have a change. There is no shower inside.

Survive Australia Without (or just a few) Dollars

Australia is a beautiful part of earth but as you will discover after 3 min of being in an airport your portfolio will have a small heart attack if you're not rich or with a 10000dollars in yar bank account.

Traveling through Asia you'll make a decision to have a "Working Holiday Visa" applicable on the net with no need of going to embassies or damn agencies for seeing an awesome land and recharge yar depleted bank account after months exploring india, thai, laos, cambodia, malesia, surfing in indonesia or whatever.

I had bad shit on me path. But making it out alone I found some interesting shit to survive my ass outta situations. The mistake I've done was to buying a crappy and alcoholic jeep from a french couple that depleted my savings and I also had to swap a motor for 2200$. It had been robbed after by a black guy (not racism, just facts) but the police found me bag back after I yelled then to fucking search the asshole instead of playing PLAY-MOBILE.

If you prefer to make it by your own without any external lending from overseas I'm putting some tips to let your time be better, and cheaper. When you're starving, you need FOOD, when thirsty WATER, when out of petrol GASOLINE, when cold, CLOTHES. Natural hey? Good, try to provide all this without money pimp.

Here are some survival tricks before you find a job, they are simple but when you're in a real MESS you need easiness, clear mind, tranquillity.

STARVING?

 :-) This rich country wastes so much food that can save fucking AFRICA DAILY. You're out of money or you just traveling and the fuel is expensive, no job?
In all the gasoline stations the workers throw all the remaning pies and expired products of the day. This means you get a hot fucking 6 dollars pie for free, cafe' latte, or watever they thow. Usually the pies are between 5 and 10. So collect the pies for three days and bless yar stomac bro.

CLOTHES?

Fruit picking needs boots, hats, shirts, pants. Expensive stuff.  Got yar backpack robbed. Take a breath man. SALVATION ARMY has stores everywhere and give, more than sell, wearing gear for 1 dollar x cloth, and depends on shoes. I explained that I got robbed and had no shoes for going to work in farms and people fucking gave me a new pair of leather boots freely bless their heart. You can go playing tricks on then saying shit just to get things but playing bad with helping good hearted people get the worst curse ever. Betraying your own heart. So just explain your situation and see what happens.


BUY A CAR/VAN/JEEP ?
Fuck the seller, just ask to bring the car to a mechanic YOU contact for giving a general look and ask the mechanic if it really values the money.

2 Major Tips

-If there is any rust, don't buy it. Rust allows passage of water inside the car, this means if you're in the middle of a fucking wet season or cyclone your inner core of the veicle will be WET producing bad smell, spores and fuck it a wet uncomfortable car. Every day of heavy rain gets the rust to expand DAILY, so in 3 months pieces will start to come off. The car might be living its life in the desert where is damn hot and all but not humid, so fuck, you'll bring it to an eviroment that's not hers and she'll start to croack.
So rust, fuck it.

- Buy a veicle that has done a motor swap. Yeah, it might sound the deal of the year but if the shit has more than 300000km, or new motor or fuck it. You'll spend the money you saved with the possible deal calling a gay to carry yar dead veicle to a mechanic that will fuck you soooo good telling ya that or ya sell the car in that way for 300$ or for at least 2500 he'll save yar car.
So more than 300th km, or new motor or fuck it.
