    Where abouts are ye staying first??
    I worked in Sydney for the year, some spot....:D
    Would love to head back.
    Have to say that I found that there was always work available if you were willing to look for it.
    Was talking to a mate of mine still over there and he was saying that there is
    still plenty of site work goin on but you sometimes have to do a bit of travelling out west. He's working on the Orbital motor way but was saying that its starting to wind down now so all these lads will be looking new work!!

    How to get a job in Oz.

    1. Go to pub
    2. Fall in with a group of Irish/English/ etc.
    3. Ask
    4. Everyone seems to know a man who knows a fella who's looking somebody to start.


    Worked for me and a few friends anyway!!
    Work was tough but good craic and paid pretty well.

    Best of luck on trip.

    I started my 12 month visa in November too. The only problems we had was we arrived just after the Olympics and so a lot of companies had used up their budgets on the celebratrions and were less keen to take on temps, but other then that it wzs a great time to arrive.

    We started in Sydney but friends who started in Perth didn't mention having any problems, so I'd say you'd be fine.
