HI yeah foxtel is great for highlights, even better if you can stay up late to watch all of the games live! if you want a vpn / proxy and have a windows computer there is some software called expatshield (just google it) which give you a UK ip address and best of all its free. unfortunately it doesnt work for Macs. Hope that helps.

Hi could anyone recommend a good reliable and affordable migration in the Brisbane area please?

Hi heck out http://www.taw.com.au/ loads of fruit picking / harvest job on there all though you do have to pay for membership, alternative gumtree.com.au has some adverts as does http://www.fruitpickingjobs.com.au/ which are both free.

Great thanks I have looked on TAW and seems to be lots of jobs advertised much more than gumtree so think we will give it ago.

Hi thanks for the info. Is it worth paying for the membership or do you think using gumtree and the other free sites is just as good?

Hi Liam & Becky here, we are new to the forum and this is our first post. We are heading over to Australia in September (only 56 days to go) on WHV's and looking for some help and advice. We are looking to complete our 88 days / 3 months regional work as soon as possible to get it out of the way and then be able to extend our visa for a further year. We are happy to do any kind of work fruit picking, planting, farm work whatever is available and are willing to travel anywhere. We are hoping to save some money whilst we are doing our regional work as it seems to be pretty good pay in some areas, from my research wages can be up to $1000 per week, this would give us more chance to travel afterwards. We are hoping to have work secured before we leave so we can start straight away. Could anyone help with suggesting good places / companies to work for that offer good wages and accommodation. Any info, advice, contacts or leads would be great.
