We know about the $$$ airfares, removalists, pet relocation - but what about the HIDDEN LIABILITIES - TAXES? You sell your home - will there be anything left for you? You pay in to Super? Is any of it yours! I'm sure it's all there on the official sites, but I'd like to hear it from the folks who've been there, done that & survived (or who learnt the hard way) :frown: Just wonder how long you have to work before the move becomes affordable & viable? Thank you :notworthy:

I am coming to Australia in September from the UK on a Working Holiday Visa. The latest I can book my return flight is 10 months after the outbound flight (so July 2014) but need it for September 2014. I understand you can change the date but will i be able to change it to 2 months later? How much do the companies usually charge? Which companies charge the least? All advice welcome, Thanks!:biggrin:

I moved to Sydney in August 2012 I've been here for 4 months. I hold a 12month working hol visa. i moved here to be with my boyfriend who's from Sydney. We lived in uk together for 3 yrs prior to the move. He was due to leave the uk after only 1yr but stayed longer and we had a nice life together there. Things have not worked out and the relationships come to an end. I visited Melbourne to have a break and see a friend who just arrived from the uk for his working holiday in Australia for a year. He suggested I stay in Australia and travel while I'm here and am welcome to join him on his travels. But I feel lost here. I haven't had any luck finding work or meeting people I connect with, the break up has been really painful and drawn out for me and I just want to go back to what I know and re-build my life and have a fresh start. Ive been travelling around Europe since march 2012 and feel ready to go back to work and settle into a normal routine. am I doing the right thing going back to the uk early I am 27 and know I can't get another working tourist visa after I turn 30. Also I am put off travelling due to ill health meaning I have to adhere to a strict diet and tire easil, it made some of my travel experiences so far less than desirable. Any advice will be most helpful thank you.
