    Basically i want to do the whole Oz thing
    I have a few questions

    1. How much is it for a years working visa
    2. How much are the flights
    3. How much money would i need upon arrival, just say i didnt find work for 2-3 weeks.

    My mates are over there in Bondi, so i'd be going over to them. But i'll probably have to stay in ahostel until decent acomodation comes up.

    Cheers in advance for any help or advice.

    I don't know how much flights etc cost, but I'm sure if you googled flights to Australia, you'd get an idea of how much they cost. Are you planning on just going to Oz or travelling around a bit? A few of my friends are in Oz, they got round the world tickets and went to New York, LA, Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, the ticket cost around €3,500 but some of their accommodation was included in that. Again with the Visa, if you search ggogle you should find out how much it costs. Or else just ask your friends??? You need to have a certain amount of money to support yourself before you can enter Australia, even if you have a working visa, I think my friends said it was around 2,500 but I don't know if this is Euro or Australian $

    are you having a laugh? Its probably most opposite to that! Especially for backpackers. Brisbane and Perth have good oppertunites for work.Melbourne fairly ok too, Sydney probably the hardest of the main cities to get good paid work for short spells
