There is a good website called manlylife.com.au which has accomodation options, things to do, a gig guide, photos of the beach, the surf etc, etc so you can get an idea what its like. Check it out. |  tasha_J Natasha Post Count: 2 Msg: #7 152 weeks ago, February 2nd 2007 | Hey, what a coincidence!!! i'm 18 and going sydney in late May 2!!! i'm getting a working visa and probably staying in sydney for a little bit and then who knows!!!! where ya from? |  Mylis Leila Mylis Post Count: 6 Msg: #8 151 weeks ago, February 3rd 2007 | Isn't getting a working visa for aus really hard??? or was that a lie? | tasha_J Natasha Post Count: 2 Msg: #9 151 weeks ago, February 3rd 2007 | i don't think so, it looks pretty straight forward!!! can do it on the internet https://www.visabureau.com | Mylis Leila Mylis Post Count: 6 Msg: #10 151 weeks ago, February 5th 2007 | Yeah it's easy to fill it out.. but it's hard for them to approve you I think that's what I hear from some people anyway.. and they're really strict about it as well. It's way harder than getting one for the UK.. but that's just what people have told me.. I'm not sure if it's true. |  pseudo sic sally sally sally Post Count: 23 Msg: #11 151 weeks ago, February 7th 2007 | heya | i'm an aussie (though i live in the north) depending on what you wanna do, and what your into will determine your australian experience being alone is no dramas, australians are a nice, rude, but nice mob, and foreigners tend to fit in easily if you want to settle down in any town, share houses are the best option, widely availible and there is a long established history throughout the country, check out john birrinhams comical share housing tales set in brisbane in "he died with a falafel in his hand" the list of things to do in sydney is never ending but do make sure you catch the ferry around the harbour, check out the GAP, and kilbilly house, jump of near the zoo and do a little bit of bushwalking, and generally just wander around. sure bondi is nice, but slightly over- rated, there is a beaut little walk from bondi to manly that passes through 6 beaches (i think) and gives you a bit of a chance to check out some stuff of the tourist also get your self along to a festival, it is a hellva lot of fun, not to mention a good way to meet people, and a bit of a tradition just have a look on the triple j (a national australian youth music station) website in order to travel around australia a car is really the only way cause you kinda need the freedom remember the country towns of australia are just as intresting as any city, just wait till you walk into your first "outback pubs", and whatever you do don't dress in white, and DON'T wash your car every night regardless of destination, i.e. middle of deset with 1 road with bull dust1!!! enjoy Oz Traveller Oz Traveller Post Count: 8 Msg: #12 151 weeks ago, February 8th 2007 | Hi everyone, this is my first post. | I just want to say that I found this cool holiday planning interactive map on www.mapmyadventure.com which allows you to plan every aspect of your holiday.
