    get out of Sydney straight away.....

    head up the east coast, across to darwin and then down the west coast...
    you'll pick up odd jobs anywhere if you hang on long enough....I spent nearly 6mts working on tourist boats over in coral bay....tiny little place with about 100 residents but close to paradise....

    There's many, many threads about travelling to Australia on here. Use the search button. :)

    Also look here for links to websites http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055415532

    I used virtualtourist.com tripadvisor.com and the thorn tree forum on Lonely Planet website.

    Buy yourself a Lonely Planet or Rough Guide.
