Hi. You can apply after your degree no need for masters. If you are fresh out of uni you will require work experience the same way as the uk before completing part 3 equivalent.

If you have an ipad you can also use the iplayer app etc and stream to the apple box. Again using unblock us or similar

Easiest way is buy a Now TV box for UKtv and an apple tv box for Netflix USA. I use unblock us.com only a few dollars per month. No pvr required for on demand. Picture quality good too. Currently use 200gb download deal with Optus.

Hi. I moved to Gold Coast 4 months ago wife wife and 3 year old. We stayed in holiday accommodation for first 4 weeks as it took that length of time to find rental accommodation furnished. The coast is terrific having kids as there is so much to do. I was lucky enough to find work on the coast within 3 months.

I sent over 100 resumes and the consensus was that I had to be in the country. Jobs are sprouting up everyday in Brisbane now, plus even a few on the Gold Coast which is where I'm heading to in 4 weeks time with no job lined up.

They definitely accept colour scanned copies, I had no problems and received visa last year.

Eera thanks, that's very interesting!

Thanks Lambethald I've been on car sales the $5000 cars with mileage over 200k is scary considering we have a Vauxhall Astra twin top that's 7 years old only 50k miles and is now only worth 2K! I suppose it's good that cars hold their value in Oz.

Excellent thanks. Would never have known that. Cheers!

The most ridiculous comment ever. I was blown away with the Brisbane night time skyline and glow of the buildings when on the citycat on the river last September.

Hi folks I arrive in the Gold Coast in 6 weeks time with my family to set up a new business. As I will be self employed car finance is out of the question as I would need 2 years of financials. Has anyone been in a similar position? Obviously I can't pay full price for a decent car so the alternative is to buy is cheap $5,000 car or to rent from Apex at $800 a month which is very expensive. Interested to hear of anyone else's similar dilemma and if there is an alternative I haven't come across. Thanks John

Jump on the boat from Brisbane city along to Bulimba which is a nice family suburb - the boat journey itself is good.

Try this you can compare different cities http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=Australia&city=Brisbane

Heading to the Gold Coast this year as soon as my house sells........

Do you eat fresh food for $100 per week? That's only $7 each per day? Seems very low. We are moving next year and I had budgeted for $1,000 per month for 2 adults and a 3 year old.
