It seems your financial year ends the same time as in Germany - but here in Australia it ends on 30/06 - so my busy time is July onwards and January is normally less busy.
You are very lucky to have free accommodation - wow - or do they reduce your wages for that reason?
You are only 30km away from your home so that's not too bad - many people travel up to 100 - 200km every day here to go to work and back home - they might drive or take the train.
Tomorrow I will travel 180km to work in the city of Melbourne - but luckily only one day a week - I could not do this every day.
Hope you have a good day and sunny weather
