Work in Australia - No Visa

horsebiscuit

Title says pretty much all, I used up my one year work visa last year but I want to head over for another stint next October in either Sydney or Melbourne..

Has anyone been in this situation before?
Are there many cash-in-hand jobs over there?
If they do exist, what kind of work is it (back breaking labour, bar-work, etc?)?
Which city would be the easier of the two to find this kind of work in?

And lastly, is there any way around this sitation with the visa, eg: I was told somewhere that if I got a passport with my name in Irish and applied for a first time visa again I'd probably get it.. bad idea?? Thoughts?

Thanks for any advise, and mods if you feel there is a forum better suited than this one for this can you move the thread there... cheers.

You know it's illegal to be in a country without a Visa, and if you have a visitors visa it's illegal to work without a work visa. Post Reported.

i suspect the australian government are a little more sophisticaed than that, and may actually base their records on your passport number, rather than your actual name.
