The last little niggle is, as I'm going over on my lonesome, will it be a struggle meeting folk.... I'm always up for meeting poeple for a few bevvies whether it be the locals or us fellow poms!!
If anyone has been in the same boat then please give me a shout!!

Hi there, I went to Uni in Perth a few years ago. I also went on my own and gave up a well paid ft job. I did have a few mates out there from a 1year working holiday several years earlier, however, I made some really good mates at uni who I socialised with and am still in touch with now. I also had a pt job and I met people through that too. I won't lie, financially it was tough, only doing 20 hrs work pw in term time-but you can work as many as you want in the hols ( unless things have changed!)
I will say that it was a great experience and it gave me a new profession. Good luck
