how old are you? Used to be before the age of 31 you can come out on a working holiday visa and then change it to a 457? That's what I did.

one thing they don't sell here - waterproofs! couldnt find em in KMart, defo going to stock up in UK at Xmas!

Thanks all! I need to get into a bank and discuss. I found this last night Googling but think they're online only. http://www.creditcard.com.au/457-visa-holders-credit-cards/ Are Virgin any good to fly with over here?!

my friend did from a WHV a while ago, will ask her. Don't think it cost anything, but the pay slips can be a pain. I didnt keep mine from harvest work days (^#$!)

I've seen some stuff on here about this, but from years ago. I'm told that apparently you can't really get a credit card unless you get PR - is this true? Or from what I read here its about having lots of $ in your account? Some people managed to get a loan for a car? Hard to go see my bank at the moment. Debit card is cool, but can't afford to buy airfares on it as a one off!

I'm heading back twice a year at the moment due to family circumstances. Any tips on cheap flights are defo welcome! Christmas is looking like minimum 2K. Not too keen on flying China Southern either! Anyone tried them?
