greenmaykelly Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So I'm looking at applying for a 12 month working holiday visa. Where would you recommend I begin my travels? I have never been to Oz and know little about it and where the places to visit are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Do you want to do your regional work to qualify for a 2nd year visa?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmaykelly Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Have not thought beyond 12 months at the moment, completely new so committing to 12 months only for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Do you mind me asking why you'd like to go to Oz when you know nothing about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi welcome to the forum. Have a good read through our backpackers section, lots of travellers seem to head to the East coast and travel around, the time of year you visit may determine where is best to go as it can be a bit wet this time of year up North. Good Luck with everything Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So I'm looking at applying for a 12 month working holiday visa. Where would you recommend I begin my travels? I have never been to Oz and know little about it and where the places to visit are? I think most people travel the east coast - Melbourne to cairns etc. That seems to be the most popular path. Others visit WA too. It just depends on what you like etc. Have a look on some websites - there are loads of backpacker and travel websites and facebook pages. I didn't know much about Australia when I first joined.. still loads I don't know. Definitely research it a bit more before you apply for your visa just in case you find you don't want to go. I'm sure you'll go and have a great time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'd head for Sydney first and get in a backpacker place around Kings Cross. There are loads to choose from that are OK and quite cheap. From there you would meet a lot of other people in the same boat and there seems to be loads of backpacker jobs in bars and restaurants around that area. If you manage to get a job you can save up and listen to a few other travellers and hear what the others liked about where they've been. It's easier to get around the East Coast and between places. You often see a lot of cars and bigger vans for sale that backpackers are getting rid of before they head home or go on a flight somewhere else. I would try and save up enough to come to the West Coast too as it's so different and there are a lot of backpackers and jobs over here too. Can't blame anyone young travelling and experiencing new places. Plenty of time for settling down, having mortgages and kids. Only live once.

Guest51810 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think I'm doing it the opposite way - West coast first but I think it would be really cool to land in Sydney. I'm sure you'll have a great time no matter where you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
