Nigel O Mahony Nigel O Mahony Post Count: 1 Msg: #1 109 days ago, August 4th 2009 | Hi my name is Nigel, I'm 24 years old, and I have a full year to experience OZ, beginning in November '09 and want to make the most of my time there. | I hope to work in Sydney or Melbourne (maybe both) so I was wondering, which city people prefer?? I would also like to work on a farm for 3-4 months to experience that, so I'm wondering where do I find information on farm work, and are there any places people would suggest are better than others, and where I should avoid?? I would like to see the East coast in about a month too, so I'm wondering if I'm travelling by myself what would be the best way to see the best bits of the coast & make friends and enjoy myself?? Thanks for any help you can give Nige Snap Shot Stacey Stacey Hatton Post Count: 220 Msg: #2 106 days ago, August 6th 2009 | I've written a blog about Melbourne from a local's perspective if that would help you at all. I LOVE Melbourne but haven't spent much time in Sydney. I can tell you that Sydney is more expensive and much harder to navigate. | ValandDoug Val and Doug Post Count: 9 Msg: #3 68 days ago, September 13th 2009 | Sydney is fabulous, great beaches, friendly people, a beautiful harbour and sunny skies. | Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #4 60 days ago, September 22nd 2009 | Hello Nigel | Here is a thread which may interest you. I dont know if fruit picking is considered farm work or not.... Fruit picking in Aus, starting in May.... There is an organisation which finds places in shared houses in Australia called 'Sleeping with the Enemy'. Apparently the prices are good and they have a good reputation. I havent been to Australia myself, but this is what I heard others say. Mel [Edited: 06:23 - Mell ] Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
