So happy to see so many people in the same boat as me, I'm 26, female and just came out of a long term relationship. I've always wanted to go to Australia and now is the right time for me. I'm in the process of moving from Bristol back to home (Drogheda) so I won't be leaving for about 4-6 months, I need to get my funds sorted, anyone else thinking of travelling early next year??

butters.scotch · 08-09-2012 9:07pm

Hiya, I'd love to aim for early January, it's just a matter of getting the money together but if I'm sorted by then I could definitely go. Not sure of where to start off over there but I've heard either Sydney or Brisbane are good places to settle. In saying that, I've no concrete plans and I'm happy to go along with anything really

Have you any particular plans yourself?

Hello Everyone, Well my story is that I am a 25 year old female. I am very interested in heading to Australia next year on a Working Holiday Visa. I am a very easy going person and would like to get in contact with anyone who is in the same boat and wants to travel but like myself does not want to go alone!

Hi Natalie, it sounds like there's definitely a gang of us in the same boat! It's definitely a bit up in the air for me at the minute, in regards to specifically when I'll be able to go, when were you thinking of heading?

Hi Andy,

Good luck with the travel plans, are you qualified in anything in particular or are you just going out to make the most of things?:D

Just a simple advice, choose the best day of your flight. Make sure that there is no storm when you travel. Bring extra bucks so you will not be short. Von Voyage!

28 male and same. Wanted to be gone, but id say jan be earliest for me. Stuff to sort before i go! Heading to perth but tempted to hit asia for a bit first, although is that bad time to be going to asia?

Sonee · 11-09-2012 11:11pm

Im a 28yr old male,hoping to head to Australia for at least a year in Feb,heading for perth first maybe and going solo! Not really looking forward to the initial bit of finding accomodation and work but theres lots of information on the forum and net in general about where to go and stay etc so that helps a lot

Have no solid plans made yet,I always leave things till the last minute anyway

... but idea is to do the regional work right away and go from there.I will probably follow this thread and see if anyone is heading the same time as me but I won't know exactly when until closer to the time.

Natalie2012 · 12-09-2012 9:13pm

Female aged 25 , I am thinking of heading to Australia in early 2013 on a Working Holiday Visa. I am very nervous as I will be travelling alone, if there is anyone thinking of going early next year, please pm me, I want to take the chance of going to Australia before I regret it! I am looking forward to leaving Ireland as there are only painful memories here for me.

CatFromHue · 18-09-2012 2:19am

Touched down in Melbourne on the weekend and I'm travelling on my toblerone. So if anyone's is in a similar situation let me know.

Edit: I've moved up to Brisbane now!

murmurrrr · 23-09-2012 12:42am

I'm 26 year old female, moving to Melbourne on my own this week and I am terrified!! I didn't think I'd be this scared. eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk! :rolleyes:

Hi Andy,

Search for Harvest Trail on Google and it should show up harvesting jobs in Australia but make sure that you check the postcodes, etc for the regional work which is on the Australian Immigration website. Hope this helps.

I'm here in Perth too and looking to get the regional work done ASAP.

I'll consider heading anywhere to get it done.

Natalie2012 · 23-09-2012 3:59pm

Is anyone going to the ‘Travel and Work in WA' seminars being held on Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 October 2012 at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin?
