Nice. Or not. Depending which way you look at it.
Seeing family = win

Bottom half is a massive winner. I've never been sold on the top part though tbh. I think I must be the only one though.

Ah yeah it'll be good to catch up with everyone and all that but I'll probably get bored after two weeks!

Very generous...

Do you have an Oz Drivers licence or did you just get an international one while you were here?

I didn't drive before I moved here but I've got my full Aussie licence now. The ma is sortin out insurance on her car for when I'm back which is super.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely would! But I'm the guy who thinks Rihanna and Angelina Jolie are horribly overrated!

Going on a holiday Visa
(And no, won't be working for cash in hand)

You should deffo get one of them, instead of just the HV, in case you do decide to stay.

I wont be staying longer than the three months as college starts back in September.
And I don't want to waste my WHV now when I know I'll be doing the year in Australia sometime in the next 4 or 5 years.
How long were you there for?

I am just back from Maynooth,the ice stays there alot longer than it does in the city.

Yeah, but he lives on the crap side of the country.

Australia is like Ireland in that respect.

East Coast = deadly.

West Coast = Shíte.

A year

then went to NZ

If you are going that far, I'd recomment NZ over Oz.

I liked Perth and the West Coast. Perth was a the best 6 week drinking session I ever had. Plus there are cool places up the coast like Monkey Mia, and Broome where you get six fee Abbo fights a night.

Well OZ is pretty much decided as I have family that can put us up in Perth, a mate who could put us up in Melbourne (wont be going there :pac:) and my mate has family that can put us up in Brisbane, which is where we'll be spending the majority of our time.

Think the plan is to fly into Perth, stay for a week or so, then over to Brisbane for the remainder of the three months.

I'm thinking 4000 Dollars would get me by. Opinions?

4000 dollars could be enough. But you will be on a fairly strict budget for the three months.

Why not go to Melbourne, or stay in Perth?

Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne won't have the best weather at that time of year either. Perth would be half decent, Darwin and Cairns better.

Used to being on a tight budget tbh...
Yeah we'll prob head up to Cairns from Brisbane for a week or so at some stage alright.

Shaque attack

give yourself longer in perth, my favourite spot by far in oz. 4k should be enough once you dont go too mad.

i liked brisbane but i was working there. i dont think its a great holiday spot. good base though for going up and down the east coast. not too far to surfers or noosa.

road trip up to cairns via fraser island = win

I wouldn't bother head up to Frasar Island or Whitsundays alre. Then head down to surfers IMO or Byron Bay.

Shaque attack

yeah i didnt think cairns was up to much but the white water rafting up at tully river is worth doing though. theres also the skydive over mission beach to be considered

Xavi6

Brisbane itself sucks. Fraser Island is a must.

Spud83

I think what you should remember as well is that this won't be your only trip there as you are planning on doing the WHV visa later. So best is to go enjoy it, and do what you can but don't out spend yourself and end up cutting the summer/winter short

Frisbee

Right well we'll have to rethink things if Brisbane is as bad as you guys think...
Fairly sure the other lads are set on it though. We'll see sure..

Sure I showed you the card we got from my friend, to you and me.

Yeah, we'll take a break.

Does that mean the cinema is cancelled tonight, and I can actually watch the football?
