Hi With regards bar work, you may find that difficult as you need to have a licence to do this. Not like the UK where anyone can do it. The course can be done over a couple of days and isn't too expensive (worth googling it) Commutable areas for you (in order to live in vibrant areas) are - Neutral Bay, Crows Nest, St Leonards, North Sydney, Chatswood, Lane Cove (Basically, anywhere on the train line that takes you to Uni) Feel free to email me (nick_jenkinson@hotmail.com) as i don't normally come on PIO anymore. Just occasionally. Cheers

Hi, You might struggle to find somewhere due to it being such a short term rental period. Most agents push for 12 months or at least 6 months leases You will need a months bond and a month in advance. I'm thinking a 3 bed house in Epping is going to be in the region of $600/$700 per week. Epping is very quiet. If you dont mid a short commute, you may want to consider Crows Nest or round that area as there is a train station in St Leonards and both these areas have good night life (student essentials!) An alternate is to look on gumtree closer to the time. You wont be able to secure a normal rental here whilst you are in UK. All you would be able to secure is a holiday rental type property or hotel. Might also be worth asking folk on here if they have any space for a few months and offering $$ per person per week. Good luck Nicholas NB: have a look at the following site: http://www.domain.com.au/Search/rent/State/NSW/Area/Northern-Suburbs/Region/Sydney-Region/Suburb/Epping/?bedrooms=3&displmap=0 Looks like you can get cheaper at about $450 a week

Hi Dave Myself and the soon to be wife have been out here about 18 months. Don't sweat it on finding accomm. There is always plenty on domain.com.au. We started with a holiday rental in Neutral Bay for 3 weeks and in that time found a suitable unit. On your budget, you should be able to find a good 2 bed unit close to the CBD. I'm in Cammeray (North shore) which is a 10 min bus journey to the city, 20 min drive to Bondi and 20 min drive to Manly. Give me a shout when you land. Would be happy to meet up for a coffee/beer. As long as you wife isn't a blue? ;-) Good luck
