Australia

As most of you know, I have recently moved to Australia (hence my lack of posting ;/) and I have been settling in pretty well. We are staying with my aunt and uncle in their house in Adelaide. I have to say our experience has not been amazing so far. As it is a working holiday visa we are on, in order to get our second year we must do three months regional work in Australia (eg farming, construction etc.)This has caused us a bit of stress as the farming work depends on what season it is (eg grape picking, apples etc) This does not make it easy to find let me tell you. In saying that though, we have gotten a job offer to work on a pear farm picking and packing them. The excitement! (LOL) Another thing that has stressed us is money. Oh my god is Australia expensive. I cant find anything here that's a reasonable price. We also had to buy a car to get around and to get to work. STRESS.COM Phew. I am tired just thinking about it all. In saying that though, we have had amazing experiences here such as my first time holding a koala. So cute! We also got to walk around and feed the kangaroos at Gorge Wildlife Park which was just amazing. I fell in love with a tiny albino one.

We had rented a car at the beginning which meant we were able to head down to the beach. The beaches here are incredible. White sand, warm clear blue water, it was just amazing! I will add a few pictures down below! The weather has been nice here but as it is coming into winter it has not been too warm lately, but still sunny which I love! I also Celebrated my 21st birthday out here on the 1st of April (April Fools :)) I did not want a party or anything so my boyfriend brought me to a gold star cinema which was amazing! Oh my god! They bring you in, take your food order from their amazing(fancy) menu, then bring you in to your seats which are huge comfy recliners, wow. They then bring out the food you've ordered at the times you have specified during the movie. Pure luxury. We ordered our drinks and a carnival platter which consists of fries, mini burgers, onion rings etc and also a dessert platter which was amazing! Lindt chocolate on everything! :D I was truly blown away! It is extremely pricey at around $200, but I guess it depends on the food you order. All in all it was an amazing experience to have as cinemas like these really do not exist in Ireland (or at least I haven't heard of them)Speaking of cinemas that don't exist in Ireland, we also had two other cinema experiences while being here. First we went to a drive through cinema, which was amazing to us as we had only ever seen these in movies! You just drive in, go get some snacks, tune the radio to the correct station and hey presto! Cinema from your car! The next one we went to was the cutest, most relaxing thing ever. It was an outdoor cinema, which only runs for a certain period of time until it gets too cold I think. It was pretty quiet when we got there which is what I loved because it just made it more relaxing. There was a big screen with speakers beside it, fairy lights in the trees, a huge tent on the grass you could sit under in case of rain,heaters spread over the lawn and a lovely woman taking drink orders. It was fabulous I must say! If you are wondering what films we went to see, in the gold class cinema we went to see the new GI Joe movie (AMAZING)in the drive through we saw The incredible Burt Wonderstone(MEH)and in the little outdoor one they were shoeing the old Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory (CLASSIC) So although things have been tough I am enjoying myself here, I just cannot wait to get back to Ireland (and to Penneys/Primark for some serious shopping)but if all goes to plan we should be back for Christmas at least.

I hope this was an interesting post to you guys, I hope to start getting into blogging more now and hopefully getting back into making videos again! :) Really excited about that as I have big plans for the future!
