    Haha yeah, dont think there's too many places that get more humid than Thailand in August lol. Atleast Bali will be a little fresher!

    That doesnt sound too bad then lol

    Not sure to be honest, i thought Jan/Feb was the height of summer?

    Im going the opposite way to you but could always meet up if we in the same area at the same time. Im starting in Melbourne but will probably be travelling north up the east coast from Sydney around Jan/Feb sort of time
  5. richard88uk
    Same, thats where id personally like to stay for a long period. Plus iv heard there is lots of farm work there!

    Yeah in the winter Lanzarote can get quite chilly, is alot dryer than Tenerife so a nicer heat. I think QLD will still be nice and warm in the winter, im hoping so as thats why im timing arriving in Brisbane and staying there for the winter lol

    HAHAHA.... I love the heat, lived in the Canary Islands (Lanzarote) for a year and used to get very hot there in the summer. 40c sounds lovely to me!

    From what i've read and been told during the summer you will be best off Melbourne/Sydney (down south) as QLD, NT etc get VERY hot!

    Extra 2k always welcome! lol... Where you planning to start?

    Course it aint a competition, iv just had a very boring life for last 16 months and managed to save alot lol. No i wont be getting a car, i was a naughty boy last year and currently aren't allowed to drive. You're right that a car would give alot of freedom i just unfortunately dont have that option. Buses/trains and rideshares for me

    I arrive in Melbourne around 25th September, maybe all us newbies should meet up! lol
  12. richard88uk
    Yeah i did think about going straight to Brisbane and staying there but thought the timing of when i get there would be the best time to do Melbourne as Sydney as it will be approaching summer then end up in Brisbane for when it cools down a bit, basically just following the warmth haha.. Fortunately iv been saving for quite a while so will have a bit more than you, hoping to work for couple months in Melbourne pretty much as soon as i get there so i dont eat into what i have saved which would then allow me to go Sydney for a bit then work again once i get to Brisbane. Also have a credit card with a 7k limited which will only be used for emergency flight home if needed

    Hiya, that doesnt sound like a bad plan to me! I plan to do Melbourne, Sydney then slowly head north towards Brisbane and stay there for a while. Quite like the look of heading north to Darwin aswell

    Im definitely going a month in Thailand, undecided on how long to stay in Bali at the moment. Probably 2-3 weeks mate
  16. richard88uk
    Im doing Thailand and Bali on way to Oz
  17. richard88uk
    I arrive in September mate, planning on starting in Melbourne. Where you going and when?
  18. richard88uk
    Basically you just have to enter Australia within a year of being granted the visa otherwise it expires and you have to apply again. The expected arrival date doesnt mean anything Rich

    Hi all. Title pretty much covers the question if anyone can let me know please Thanks Rich
  20. richard88uk
    I think they normally take about that when they are system approved, only when you have convictions or they need additional information it takes longer. Mine took 4 months due to be being a stupid boy!

    Koh Samui April 2014

  22. richard88uk

    Koh Samui April 2014
    yeah it was lovely, daytime temperature was around 40-45c every day. did get a little burnt! lol
  24. richard88uk
    Just incase anyone with a similar record is wondering i received my email on 22nd May notifying me my visa has been granted. So relieved! See you in September!

    Hiya. I originally planned to start in Sydney but changed my mind and decided to start in Melbourne for 2-3 months then head towards Sydney then north up the east coast. I bet you dont come back for Xmas! lol... Especially as it will be summer in Oz. From what i have seen it is quite difficult to sort a job before you get there but once you arrive its quite easy aslong as you're not too bothered what you do. Im planning on staying for the full 2 years and maybe longer if i can, if not maybe move on to NZ and do 2 years on WHV. Are you stopping anywhere on way to Oz? Rich
