    I've been to a lot of places haha. My neighbour is actually doing that kind of thing right now. He's a medical specialist and likes travelling so often goes around to remote communities and helps out there for a few weeks then goes somewhere else where his specialty is needed. I have friends that have done teacher placements in like central Australia too.

    Check out our fabulous wiki!!!

    @Yupt;

    a few questions if you don't mind.


    - What work did you do over there? Was it easy to find?
    - Did you live in a hostel or shared accomodation?
    - Did you drive while over there?
    - Did you stay in one spot or move about?

    Work is very easy to find as long as you're willing to look. I worked a lot in hospitality when I was younger so I just went back to that and am now working in Sydney as a barista. Some friends i've made here however wanted to continue working in their particular trades and have found work that way too, it just takes longer as you would expect. I'd do the same but unfortunately my career is a little more niche and more difficult to find quick work.

    I did both. So as you're travelling about or arriving somewhere for the first time, hostels are the easiest and cheapest way to go (and also a great way to meet similar minded people) however once I stopped to work somewhere I would find shared flats etc. Facebook groups or accomodation finding websites are aplenty and are generally pretty helpful. Took me a couple weeks in Brisbane to find somewhere to live once I decided to stay, then the same again once I moved over to Sydney.

    I don't drive over here no. There isn't much need to tell you the truth, as helpful as it would be at times public transport is genuinely pretty good and it's easy enough to get around, Uber/Ola etc is also a big thing here too. That being said if you did want to drive (don't quote me on this) most international driving licenses are valid over here too, think you just need to fill in a couple forms.

    I moved around a lot. I've travelled extensively and explored the East and West coasts, the Great Ocean Road and visited most the major cities. To fund that though I have stopped and worked in Brisbane for 6 months and now i've lived in Sydney almost a year.

    Feel free to send any other questions over to me and I'll reply when I can, don't mind how big or small they are.

    I take it this is a work visa then - are you supposed to earn a certain amount of money to stay in Australia or do you need a certain amount in savings before you go?

    I'm curious cause me and my boyfriend are weighing up options for when he's done studying - UK isn't that great a place for work anymore tbh but we need somewhere English speaking where we can both work fairly easily and freely.

    The type I am looking at is the holiday work visa which is different to the skilled work visa (a lot harder). So far I have read and my friends have told me that it lasts for a year, and if you want to extend it to two years you can provided you do like at least 88 days work in the agricultural sector. you also need to be below 30 years of age and you need to have like 1k to 4k worth aussie dollars in savings.

    Basically if you want to travel around and do a holiday/work type thing, that is the visa to go for.
