BestyBlue Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey, I've just been offered a Skype interview for a job in Wollongong with sponsorship under a 457. I've had a look on the web and it looks nice, just rather sleepy. Is there anyone who lives there or who has been there that can give me their opinions of the place? I don't want to accept just anything as a means to get into Oz knowing that I'll be stuck there for a few years Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-bone Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hiya! I moved there in 2009 after meeting a commodity trader in HK who lived there. She was really positive about the place so I thought I'd give it a go. I found it to be too industrial for my liking. The work situation wasn't great and neither were the beaches, I therefore decided that "The Gong" was. People were incredibly friendly though!

dewi Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hello, I lived in wgong for 3.5 yrs.... It's very small, the city center is just like few blocks But I enjoy it though. If you like quiet, peaceful place and not aftering wild night life, i think it shud be fine.... Hey, I've just been offered a Skype interview for a job in Wollongong with sponsorship under a 457.

Kiama tiger Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Depends what you want from it all. We live 30k south of Wollongong which suits our needs. I personally do not like Wollongong but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
