Yeah i have heard everyone is welcoming over there, and i love the Australian accent its brilliant! got alot of friends telling me i'm going to be talking like them in no time haha. I have had people on this site which told me that there are no A levels? its just a HSC which i have to do when i get over there , then go to a TAFE and do a course there. And yes i have looked at doing a lifeguard qualification over there , scene as i'm a really good swimmer, but the price of doing it seem just the same as doing it in the UK so debating whether to get it done here in the UK , or over in Australia where i can meet people.
