Hello everyone! :D
Just came across this site by accident and have spent most of my working day reading through the posts!
I have always talked about travelling to Oz but never did anything about it. Until the beginning of this year when i split with my boyfriend and decided that is was now or never!! Although i had spoken about it I never did any research so i was running into this blind! Thankfully i have many friends and some distant family spread across the country who have kept me right and on the 19th March i was granted my one working holiday visa!!
I tried to immigrate but only got 100 out of 120 points!! I then spoke to various folks who suggested that the easiest option for me was the one year holiday working visa and then to try to gain employment sponsorship and settle in Perth. I have read several threads that people have said it is too risky doing it that way but thankfully (or not) i have no dependents, it is just me, myself and I so i can afford to take that risk! I have several agencies all waiting for my flight details and arrival date to set up interviews and they are all aware of my plans.
Everything so far has been positive and now i am just trying to decide when the right time for me to leave is!! I cant wait to travel around and see the country for myself - all the pictures i have found look amazing but i am sure they do it no justice.
I am looking forward to chatting with folks and getting plenty of advice to keep me on the straight and narrow!!!
