Moving to Australia

EmmaMul91

Hey everyone! Just sorted my visa, heading straight for Sydney next April on my own - I have family there but I'll be travelling alone and won't be staying with them for long as I obviously will want to travel around and make friends. My plan is to holiday for a couple of weeks in Sydney and then head off to do the regional work etc. Anyone heading out around this time??

Hey Darragh, sorry I'm only seeing your reply now! I literally just booked my fights last night, heading off on 7th of April next year! I'm really just going to my family for a quick visit i plan to head away as soon as I can so I can meet more people who are also travelling and hit up the farms and stuff! Have you made anymore plans??

Hey Emma,

I am taking the plunge in May i have a friend in Melbourne, so planning on seeing her for a week or so then heading off to do the farm! No idea on where to do it though, but would love to find someone who wants to do the same thing!

If you have a driving licence then it'll benefit you greatly for rural/farm work and if you have the money/motivation to get your medium rigid licence then it can be advantageous for farm work and even city work.

Not all farm work is picking fruit. Some families owning farms want full time nanny's to look after kids coupled with farm labouring, machinery driving etc...hence why the licence thing is pretty important.
