beniland Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi. I'm in the process of applying for my Working Holiday Visa but I'm not sure what city I should look at. I am flying into Sydney but don't necessarily need to stay there. Where would you recommend? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If I were doing that, I would travel around, probably up and down the east coast mainly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi, and welcome to the forum. I've moved your post to the Backpacking/WHV forum where you should get recommendations from other WH makers who would have wondered much the same thing before they arrived.

RyanG91 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Depends what you want to do really. I'd say starting in Sydney is a good place to start, you can go north up the east coast to Brisbane, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Cairns etc.. which I suspect is fairly typical of a backpacker. Or the other way you can go to Melbourne and Adelaide. Adelaide is not as popular with backpackers but still a wonderful city. I wouldn't make too many firm plans now though, just a rough outline of where you want to go. More than likely you will meet people who will help influence where you go and I suppose always be ready to move around. If you are looking for regional work I'd get on the Harvest Trail, plenty of info on the au.gov website. There is quite a few published info packs around to help you get your head around that. When are you flying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested in beaches, mountains, deserts, etc, etc??? How about giving us a few things that interest you, hey? Cheers, Bobj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniland Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks for the replies so far. I am literally up for anything! I would love to see the whole country whilst I'm over, but will be looking for part-time work too. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Mate, as we are coming into our cool months, 'the dry', as it is known in the northern half, I would suggest that you head north towards Cairns, over the Top End and then the coast road south in WA and back across the Nullabor. I reckon it would pay you to get in with a couple of good blokes to defray costs. Cheers, Bobj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
