Hi all,
I've been working with Cirque du Soleil in Auckland NZ and have been invited to join them when they go to Canberra in early March. I was wondering if anyone new of somewhere I could stay for a while whilst I find somewhere to live.
After that they are heading to Melbourne, opening on April 19th, then to Adelaide opening July 5th and finally Perth on August 17th.
If anyone would be willing to loan a couch for a few days in those areas they would be my new best friends
Cheers

not performing as yet, but am team leader for Food and Beverages, just joined them when they got here on the 3rd, and am touring Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth with them. If I can learn french before they leave for Europe, I'll hopefully be going with them there as well.

That would be wicked, I'm really looking forward to running around aus with CDS. I can't really call it work, after all it's the circus, I think work should be something where you are paid to be there because you have to be there, rather than because you want to be there. Look forward to meeting you in Perth.

First of all I want to comment on the "dinghy and diseased" when talking about hostels. There are always some black sheep out there but most hostels do a lot to give people a great time for VERY LITTLE MONEY. As I own a backpackers hostel myself I felt I have to write that.
Lots of hostels give weekly rates, usually between $100 - $150 per week. I can recommend www.hostelworld.com as you can also find customer ratings and comments.
Secondly I hope you enjoy your time with the Cirque but I doubt you'll get to see much of Australia...

Cheers Sprocket, I'm hoping that I'll find somewhere good to stay, I'm sorted in Perth now with a couple of HoPpers being uber kind and offering to let me crash at theirs for a while
to them.
There are a couple of weeks in between shows where I hope to see a bit of Aus, and there's always after the tour.
Which backpackers do you own and where can I find it on my travels
Cheers

Try Alice Springs, it's called Alice's Secret Travellers Inn. Small, friendly, lots of space and certainly disease free
If you want to see Ayers Rock it's kind of on the way... in Australian dimensions. We've just started our weekly fire/circus meets every Wednesday.
Hope you have a good time and we might see you in the centre...

Yay for travelling, boo for airports confiscating all my fire toys : (

I haven't heard of either a Monday or Friday night meet, but there's Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday meets around the CBD area, though I haven't been going as much as I'd like to.

Indeed you did meet me in Canberra, and my contact was only just beginning there, I got really into it in Melbourne and have since gotten loads better. Sorry Gnor, I left the circus after Melbourne because they started getting rather rude to me, but enjoy the show, it's amazing.
