Butch photoshopped me on the right riding a wave. Thanks Butch!

Howd you land a job at Worx?

 

[RedTurboMr2]

Sweet, that's awesome Kevin. I've always been wanting to just leave Canada and start a new life somewhere else, but bills are holding me back. If someone can guarantee me a good paying job anywhere in the world, i'm down

Just watched something the other night about all the poisonous creatures in Australia. Watch out for the brown snakes, sea snakes, box jellys, stone fish, blue ring octupus, funnel spiders, and oh yea the duck billed platypus. Who knew a platypus was poinsonous?

Haha I think I saw that same show! Don't forget about the Jack Jumper ants, the ones that put u in the hospital. Ants that put you in the hospital??? Austrialians much be pretty bada$$, even there ants will put you down!

I have no idea what your talking about...

:sneaky:

 

[nightrider05]

So any hookups with jobs if any other members decide to randomly move over there too?

 

[KR]

They have M+M Crispys!!!!

Dead baby possum fell from the tree as I was walking to work...

Pictured also is a huntsman spider (I think.) Anyways, it was bigger then my open hand.

Thats the Australia Post on a motorcycle. They are similar to the old Honda trail 90's. I think they have 110 motors. These guys run full speed on your lawn and deliver the mail. I've heard stories of guys watering their lawns early morning before the posty arrives!

 

[KR]

Picked up a little 4 banger 4runner. All that matters is the ski fits!

They don't have vacuum cleaners like we do. Pictured is old mate Corrin with a strap on vacuum.

There are lots of fruit bats, as soon as dusk hits they are out! This one got tethered up in the power lines.

Beer is super expensive! Its outrageous. 24 packs are typically $45.

How are you doing Kev? Everything looks pretty good so far. Stoked for you Bro!

 

[AtomicPunk]

Why is beer so much? They tax the poop out of it? What about other liquor?
You had me moving there until that post.

 

[mjamesd013]

so cool to see you doing what you want to do bro...keep the pictures coming definitely, i love this kind of stuff showing the different living in different areas from around the world...my buddy was in film school and moved to australia for about a year and his stories were pretty great but i couldn't believe how expensive he was saying everything is...pretty wild

have fun and be safe

 

[slamb33]

Beer is the same in Canada. All tax. I can get Canadian beer in California for half what I pay in Ontario.

Same deal for Liquor and wine. All government controlled. Some US states have government control, but not as much tax.

Thanks John, appreciate that. It took me a while to settle in but from here on out it should be good. Miss the crew though...

I think being here is the best decision I could have made in my situation. Wouldn't have happened if it weren't for this community.

Cheers! Yeah a pair of Vans slip-ons in the States are $50ish. Here they are $160. I think anything materialistic and alcohol is triple compared to what we pay in the States. However I think rent is cheaper here. Because of the low population, they use attractive prices to get more people to buy. You can work at Target and buy a house and have a car. Just need to put down 3% haha!

In the States, all of us know to go by the $1 a beer rule. Here, you go by the $2-3 a beer. Pictured above is a 6 pack of Stella for $16, I believe thats $8 in the States.

Liquor? Im not rich! Liquor = Spirits in Australia

They have so many funny names for anything. Its hilarious, I've gotten used to them now. I will have to write some of them down when I get some free time. Gotta run!

My short film is now complete. have been living in Australia for nearly a year now. This incredible journey has taken me places that I never thought possible. From making the best friends, managing one of the worlds most renown PWC parts manufacturers, Worx Racing. And doing all of this 11,000 miles away from home has just been mind-bobbling. This video is dedicated to my family: my mother, father and little brother Grant. This video is also dedicated to those individuals who believe they are stuck and have no where to go. Just know that anything is possible. It all starts with a dream. Opportunities are everywhere, just get out of bed and make it happen.
