Virgin Aussie Burner looking for friends to do Burning Man w
Hi I'm Daniel from Perth, Western Australia
I'm planning on doing my first Burning Man this year by myself at this stage. My friends that are into Burning Man don't have the money or time to make it out there for this year. Given one of the events philosophies is about self-reliance, I'd thought I'd throw myself in the deep end and decide to do it all by myself and make friends along the way. I'm staying with my brother in Houston before flying to Reno. I'm hoping I can find some people to go to Burning Man with. I'm more than willing to chip in for an RV or something like that. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Hello there,
Lots of Aussies about. You will be fine if you read the guides, do your research and get prepped up right in reno.
Feel free to PM me if you have questions.
Great to have you on board!

Hi Daniel!
Some folks post in the 2013 Share Resources forum when they're looking to share an RV. There will also be a rideshare board later on the main Burning Man website . . . and as you will see--if you poke around the Introduce Yourself forum--there are a lot of Australians hoping to Burn this year; maybe someone would like to join up with you.
Or check out this camp that specifically likes to have overseas Burners.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I've found a couple of people to share an RV with from London. We're staying at the Barbie Death Camp. Apparently there are plenty of Aussies staying there. I just started scanning the forums, (the shared resources thread will be your best bet) and started sending messages to people asking if they wanted to share an RV or ride etc. I know of a guy from Adelaide who's going by himself, I don't know him personally but maybe I could introduce you guys. But yeah, just start looking through the forums and message/reply to people, by the looks of it you've already have started
Add us on facebook if you got one https://www.facebook.com/daniel.station
Hope to see you there mate

Sparkling Ale. That's one of my favourite beers. The pale ale is pretty rad as well. I'm in love with James Squire Chancer at the moment. Might have to bring a 6 pack along for the ride.Asquared wrote:who wants to bring me a coopers red?!

And the response from me would be, depending upon who is asking the question, "Of course there are. Right in the back of my RV."Asquared wrote:now a ton of people are going to be coming by BDC saying "i heard there are tim tams here"

Re: Virgin Aussie Burner looking for friends to do Burning M
Hey guys,
I'm heading over from Melbourne on my own as well, though meeting up with some friends at Barbie Death Camp too (including the most excellent internationalincident) - I'm flying into Reno and hoping to liftshare from there...
From the looks of it, I'll pay my way with TimTams - double choc only of course.
