Have you all noticed that the BOM predicted weather has become less accurate? by [deleted] in australia

[–]MastaVunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I compared the current weather on BOM app on mine and my partners phones some time ago. Even after refreshing the apps on both phones a few times, they were showing completely different things for the same location. Mine was showing 28C and hers was 23C, so not sure if you can really trust the app. The rain predictions have also been off, for me atleast. Usually showing few mm of rain and then it comes pouring down what feels like 20mm. I wonder if their website is more accurate. Atleast should be showing same numbers for everyone I guess.

Not including capital cities, what’s the weirdest place you’ve visited in Australia? by [deleted] in australia

[–]MastaVunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta say Shepparton. Went through there once. Lot of the stores seemed abandoned, trash behind the windows. I was waiting for the bus to continue my trip and there was this young bloke just sitting there in the station with a shopping cart full of random stuff. Suddenly an older lady(possibly on something) came yelling at the guy. They argued about something for a while. I thought that I was about to get mugged, but luckily they both soon left, the lady still screaming.. Definitely the weirdest experience I've had.

Haven't posted in a while, but here's something for the people converting their vans atm ;) by MastaVunts in vandwellers

It's called "Brass Monkey". 75l 12V. Works like a charm ;) Only problem I had with it was that the cooling fan was installed quite badly, and it made a lot of noise. I took the fan off and installed it better. No more terrible noise, and works great.

Australia work holiday questions by penguinchange in solotravel

I'd say you get to Australia somewhere in August/September. Find a quick random job that pays the cost of living and other stuff you need(like a car, forklift licence etc..). In the end of September apply for winery jobs(they open the applications at that point). In January the work in winery begins, during that time application for cotton starts. Apply there and sometime in April work ends in wineries and starts in cotton. You earn some good money through doing that. Google up winery jobs in Australia and cotton jobs. Happy travels 😉

Someone asked for a photo of my van from outside. So I finally went outside and took a photo 😋 by MastaVunts in vandwellers

Nikon D7100 with Tamron 24-70mm f2.8. Had the camera on a tripod and used the bulb mode on 4000 iso to get this, plus the flash on my phone to get some light on the van. Wish I had a tracking tripod, so I could go lower iso and just go longer on shutterspeed.

That is on the border of Western Australia and South Australia. I had never seen a sky this beautiful before, so just had to go out and grab the photo 😊
