Yo,
I know a few people on here are pretty clued up about Australia so thought I'd ask some questions..........
Where is good to go in Australia? I'm wanting to work for about 3 months and doss around for about a month.
I want somewhere with good nightlife, nice beaches, but also somewhere that I can get an I.T contract (hopefully)
What is cost of living like? What sort of money will I need behind me? I know I need £2k to get the Visa.
Any other tips or advice would be good.
Cheers,
James

I go back on the 8th november , fly from manchester to heathrow to bangkok for seven nights, then on to sydney for a month then to the gold coast for the rest of the year  flights cost £530 one way oh and you will need £2300 when you get to aus and ya visa will cost £165 but that includes a bank account and a aus sim card. I've been before and sydney is for me the best city in the world its got everything beaches, clubs, shops and restraints
