If you intend coming here for a long tern visit then it's probably easier to
get than one of the increasingly elusive 'working holiday' visas which have
a wealth requirement and are 'time pointed' and lead you into the ghastly
paper chase of the 'work permit' if you end up wanting to stay.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
