When I rang Cronulla, Mike the manager said that although he could not promise me a job the likelihood was very good. I didn’t know what to believe but as a surfer I had already heard of Cronulla’s beaches so I headed down anyway. It was the second or third day after I arrived that the various building jobs came to me. In the end I could see myself being bogged down with too much work when I already had savings from home to continue my trip. I’ll be back when they run low.

We arrived at Cronulla skint and were desperate for work. At first there were odd jobs here and there, enough to keep us going until more permanent work showed up. Mike gave Gerald a lead for labouring with a builder, and when that job finished the builder's friend (also a builder) took him on which has now turned into work for months. Mike then asked me if I was interested in working in a vacuum cleaner assembling factory close by. It sounded very different to say the least, but after two months of 40 hours week we both have saved for the next leg of our journey.

We met each other in central Sydney at a dodgie hostel and came down to Cronulla after seeing and advertisement regarding jobs in a travelers magazine. It was peak time in Sydney and we were down to our last pennies. Thanks to Mike who gave us some credit on our accommodation, then jobs in the local area to put us back on our feet. We ended staying several months and made loads of friends in the area.

I somehow turned up in Cronulla and loved it so much I stayed for ages. Yes I needed work, but labouring wasn’t for me, so I was lucky enough to score a job with an event flooring company and am now helping run it (car included). Also I managed to get work 3 nights per week at Paddy’s Bar only a short walk from the hostel. No hard graft, loads of money and time to party as well - perfect!
