What would you do if…
you found out that you had 1 month left in Australia? That you knew that you were forced to leave Australia at the end of November because you weren’t allowed to stay in the country any longer. What would you do?
Things I still have to do in this country:
1. Go to Western Australia, simply known as “WA” - and travel the west coast.
2. Play with the kangaroos on Kangaroo Island in Adelaide.
3. Snorkel and scuba dive some more.
4. Hire a car and drive up through the heart of the country - from Adelaide to Alice Springs, and pick up Swedish backpackers named Inga and Helena. Sweet as.
5. Visit the sacred land of Ulurru, but I promise not to climb it.
6. Go back to Melbourne and visit my new found family.
7. Go to Perth and Darwin - they are touted as the new Melbourne and Sydney of Australia now.
8. Learn how to kite surf. Just cause I did so well in my attempt at regular surfing. (In case you missed it, there was a hint of sarcasm in that sentence)
9. Audition for Australian Idol. Auditions begin early 2008. Fingers crossed!
10. Go back to 1770, cause it’s the best damn place in this country.
What would you do if you found out that you had 1 month left in Australia? What would you do if you knew you had to leave in November? What would you do if you couldn’t do the things you still wanted to do in Australia?
I wouldn’t know.
I just found out today that my visa sponsorship was approved.
Sweet as.
congratulations! on getting your visa..sounds like you are settling well in aussie land. I am jealous..I need to find that 2grand to come down and visit soon…
It’s been snowing..in whistler!! I can’t wait to go ridin..too bad ur not here!!
I knew you’d be saying something stupid like that! You’re so predictable
Congrats on getting that coveted VISA! So what does that mean? We wont see you for another 3 yrs? Woohoo!
BTW, #9 is not possible for you anyway. They dont usually allow 35 yr olds to audition
Congrats cousin!
Yeah!!! that means that when I am able to save up enough money to come to Oz you’ll probably still be there. Cause God knows it’ll be about 2 years before I’m able to save up that kind of money!
Congrats Marky!
BTW.. I’m back on facebook…long story…
One thing you should do is watch a Silverchair concert in Australia…if you don’t..thats a DAMN SHAME!
Congrats!!! For what length of time do you get to stay in Australia on a Visa?? Miss you! Can’t wait to come and visit with you one day!

Fantastic news Mark!!
I cant wait to come out there and see ya! xx
Does this mean you’re really not coming to my Halloween party? Man… I was looking forward to what funny costume you’d come up with this time (My guess was a kangaroo). Maybe I’ll just call the Australian government and tell them that there is a crazy Canadian running around stealing all the hot sweedish tourists and get you kicked back home!
Hmmm… yes, well… in another completely unrelated topic… what’s the Australian deportation office number?
ps - (Congrats man, I know how you are having a good time there so I’m happy for ya, we just miss ya around here.)
i am bored of this post.
here’s what you should add to this magnificent list of ‘what you would do if you only had 1 month left’: POST IN YOUR GODDAMN BLOG
Congratulations Mark!!!
Your RMC ladies are always asking me how you are doing…sadly, I haven’t been in touch so I always tell them that you know more than me!!!
Anyway, I’m glad you are safe, happy and that your stay there has been extended…although you are still missed up here!!! ; )
