Evil 4 Eva
I am planning to go on a working holiday around Australia (starting in Perth, where I live) for about a year, in between finishing Yr 12 and Uni. I'm going to stop along the way where I can get a job and stay for about a month, maybe more. As accommodation, I am planning on living in my car (4wd, jeep or station wagon) and sleeping in the back. Would backpacker hostels let me park on their property and hopefully let me use their bathrooms/kitchen if I pay half the cost they usually charge for a night, since I wouldn't be using any of their rooms?
Answer
Some hostels have spaces for tent campers and you might be able to do this and pay the camping rate. Otherwise NO, as the hostels are only rated for a certain number of people and you will be extra to that.
Why not go to a campground instead? Lots of Aussie campgrounds have showers/toilets and kitchens and it will be a lot cheaper than a hostel. The difference is that the camp kitchens generally don't have utensils so you'll need to kit yourself out with cooking and eating gear, and a gas stove is handy. Many of them do have fridges/freezers so with a coolbox and some ice bricks it will work.
I did this for three months in Victoria and South Australia and it worked fine; i recommend a tent and a mattress too, much more pleasant than sleeping in the car.

I am thinking about joining air cadets with a friend. But we don't really know much about it. We wanted to know these things:
- do boys and girls mix?
- are you split into age groups or abilities?
- what kind of activities do you do?
- is it hard work?
- how strict is it?
- do you gte accepted straight away or do you have to go through a process?
- what was/ is your experience at air cadets like?
Thanks in advanced :D
Answer
when I was in air cadets (that makes me sound old) you had toe be 16 years old and have your parents permission.
Girls and boys mix except when you go on camps and you have separate tents and you were not allowed to fraternise although a lot of flirting went on...but that is teenagers for you.
you r given rank and when you do all the activities, like air craft recon and that we were put into to two groups commissioned and Non commissioned officers often the COs would teach the NCO etc.
activities we did each week were drill (marching saluting) etc, air craft recognition (learn about different air craft and what they look like) navigation (learning to read topographical maps)
we also were taught our phonetic alphabet, radio rules and what I call military sign language which is what you use when you are in a war zone or whatever and you need to communicate with other people.
we usually went on camps once a term to which meant camping, getting lost in the bush and learning how to put what we learn each week into practice.
once a year we went to the main airbase here in perth for 1 week to do training like boot camp and you usually have to complete a boot camp with in the first few weeks of signing up this is intense you are woken usually before it is dark and your day is filled with drill and classes and then its dinner and lights out. some times you have to compete in drill competitions against other cadet groups or join in with any major major military parades like here in Australia we have ANZAC day and we were expected to participate in the marches /parades for that
and we did the ooccasionalcommunity service that comes up from time to time.
I learned to aab-sail, usual rifle and shot gun, basic self defense and how to fly a glider.
well you get accepted straight away but then like I said they send you to boot camp for 1 week and alot people leave after this
it canbe hard work but it is good fun.
it is strict you have to wear a unifor and if you are female you have to wear your hair in bun or french knot and you have to wear the uniform correctly and your boots/ shoes have to be polished and you are not allowed to use peoples first names even if youknow them it is all cadet this or cadet that and yes seargent no sargeant.
I enjoyed it. I learned a lot.
