    Hi Matt! Thanks for sharing your experience, very useful! I'm planning to go in Australia in April and I'm thinking to do my 88 days right in a solar farm🤞, I was checking on Internet this kind of job for a while, and thanks to your videos I feel that would be a great experience for me, and that's why I'd like to have a few more answers if you can help, thank you in advance🙏😊

      Hey! So my farm has actually finished now so it wouldn’t be much help! Get into indeed and seek for jobs available. Best of luck though!

    Hey mate awesome video. 👌🏽
    I have had a past back injury, do you reckon this job is suitable for that or not such a good idea? I fractured and nearly crushed 3 discs.
    Cheers mate.

    Off-topic:
    Can you talk a bit about your filming equipment? I wish to do something similar, travel and vlogging, but wish to know a bit more about what to bring if I want to make videos. Not only what camera for example, but also laptop or tablet for editing, Steadicam etc...
    Thanks! And also, lovely videos 😁

    • @MattShillings
      @MattShillings  Год назад

      Hello!
      Where do I start haha so I use my phone and a GoPro for all the filming, plus an external microphone when I’m doing talking sections
      For the editing I use Final Cut Pro on my laptop just because I started on iMovie and that was the logical step for me!
      Anything else you need to know?

      @@MattShillings Cool thanks! As a Windows/Android user, I'll probably have to look for good alternatives, but I've found some videos on that.
      Is it the GoPro Media Mod? I would guess so since I don't see a clip-on anywhere?
      Thanks again!

    Hi Mark where is the solar farm you work located? Which areas should I look for? I’m starting my 88 days in July is it a good period even if winter ? You usually work 88 days straight or the job is discontinue meaning I’ll have to stay more!? Thank you 🙏

  • @jakehoward7494
    @jakehoward7494 Год назад

    Hey Matt, thanks for the info. Do your days off still count towards the 88 days? Also, do you receive anything from the company that you can show as proof to the Australian government that you completed the 88 days? Thank you!

    • @NeglectedPortalV1
      @NeglectedPortalV1 Год назад

      Days off count if you're pulling in 35 hours a week, working 5 days on those hours counts for a full 7 days. Also your payslips are your proof.
