I am a stylist so I don't think I can go under independent skilled. But I am afraid my current employer will be willing. It may be the best thing to search for a new sponsor and start again from scratch. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes that's what I thought. I'm unsure whether to stick another year out and get my PR or move. Someone mentioned your employer has to put you forward for your PR too. Which if this is so my current one won't do it I am sure of it. It can I put myself forward for it with out their help? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been in Australia for a year on a 457 Visa which I paid for myself. Where I work is a place that has a consistent turn over of staff for various reasons. What I would like to ask is. A...can I look for other employment s long as they are willing to take over my sponsorship. B...Will it effect applying for a PR I'm the future. Thank you. I look forward to your reply.

Yeah I heard they guy who renovated the Coogee pavilion has it. Will be nice when done.

When I came to Australia I gave everything I own to charity....I had a three storey house full....I rented it out and now at 40 I live in a box on the beach and own a surf board and rucksack. That had 3 items of foot ware in it. Haha. Love it.

It's lovely. A few food bars are popping up....Avalon sounds super nice. Will take a look next day. Off.

I need to try Newport and monavale for pubs. Just read everything back and know what you are all talking about now....haha. Since moving.

It's lovely there at long reef....I'm yet to visit Avalon. Sounds beautiful. . Anything anyone has to offer. Shout out. Thanks. Everyone.

Hello hello. So I have made the move. Oh my oh my. It's stunning!! So. Up to now. I've walked Dee why to north narrabeen Manly north head The lagoon I've surfed at narrBeen badly. Visited Mona vale Palm beach Long reef. I love it. I need a net work a local and. Cafe. Haha. ???

Great thank you..I will!!

I'm so excited...maybe we should all meet on the beach for a BBQ and your worldly wise advice. It's awesome!! [emoji106][emoji295]️[emoji4]

Thank you everyone.....so much advice.....[emoji173]️

If I see that ginger Scot I will be sure to drop in on him and ruin his surfing day!!!! I am totally up for a drinking with anyone, who's willing and thanks for the tip at Collaroy...I will have a look. Three weeks until I am in heaven then!! Right now I am in a room in a house with 8 people. It's not my style but has served it's purpose. Cheap...and near Maroubra beach..but I am no young kid...and there's a lot to be said for sitting on your couch alone in your pants. Haha. This time though I will have sunrises and dolphins!! Argh!!!!!!!

Hiya So this is what I decided and where I am heading I found a studio flat, underneath a house on the beach at Narrabeen....when I say on the beach I mean 30seconds to water. The ocean and beach are outside my kitchen window and it's cheap enough to rent alone!!! I can not believe my luck, and yes it's further but as a female who gave up everything to live the surf and beach lifestyle I feel my wish has been granted. I work in city so won't become isolated. And will live close by all the northern beaches...the bus to manly goes from the back of the house!!! Thank you everyone. Im so glad I asked the advice. . Thank you.

I have been in Oz for 7 months already and I currently live in Maroubra and haven't found the travel to bad, I read on my way home and relax. I surf and dive and moved to Australia to live near the ocean side. I'd rather travel to a beach home than live in a city as I'm a beach girl. I lived on the beach in the Uk. I know if I lived in the city I would become low.....but I just don't know if Manly would be a huge travel experience. Some say it's a nightmare and some say it's a pleasant journey. Bondi for summer looks a bit crazy.. Thank you Maryrose for the info.
