She also mentioned that she had visited the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Byron Bay.
She spent her time in the country going to the Whitsundays, visiting Magnetic Island, and the city of Cairns.
She noted that she planned on living in Australia for a long time.
However, after almost five months, she recently flew back home.
She stated that she wanted to return home due to the excitement of doing so.
She also noted that her happiness level does not depend on where she is in the world.
However, she claimed that some factors in Australia made her feel sad.
She noted that finding a job in Melbourne was not easy, and she had to resign from her position due to a panic attack when she was finally able to secure one.
She said that she knew it would be difficult to get a job in the country.
She thought that she would be able to get a job for around two and a half days. However, she noted that her experience was not easy.
She said that she had a panic attack during her third day of work, which was unlike anything she had experienced before. The job was described as a charity sales role.
Although it was a great job, she noted that it was hard to get hired in Australia due to her working holiday visa.
She also said that she was unhappy because she did not get to see her family back in Ireland.
In an interview with dailymail, Dearbhla shared her thoughts on moving to Australia and offered advice to potential backpackers.
She noted that although she did not want to stay in the country permanently, she would not discourage others from considering it.
She suggested that potential travelers visit the country when they first arrive as they might want to go home early.
