Hi, looks as though you have a lot of information already.
My man is a brickie. We live near Sydney.
Perth in W.A. is screaming for bricklayers, mine wants to go but I dont want to leave the family.
I have been there and its great, will definitely go back. Anyway, if you want to be assured of work go there. It is on the west coast and the weather is mild, pretty hot in summer.
There are lots of things to do and see, and accommodation wouldnt be hard to find. Good luck and hope you have a great time.

Hi I applied for a 12 month working holiday Visa, it cost about 80 pounds and I had it 3 days after applying. You can apply through the Australian Embassy on line. It was a really fast and efficent way. The visa I have only allows me to work in 1 place for a mzximum of 3 months. But I plan to travel all the time hopefully, and just work to boost my account when I need to. For accomodation I am going to stay in hostels. They are the cheapest way when traveling around.
Good luck.

I sepnt 12 months in Australia and it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. As already advised get in touch with the embassy, I found them to be very helpful. You should be able to go on a Working Holiday Visa without much trouble. Have fun!
I found it reassuring buying a round trip bus ticket from Greyhound / Pioneer. It meant I had travel back to my starting point paid for should I run out of money or work. The Youth Hostels are very good and it's worth joining the YHA.

Hi there,
If you and your boyfriend are both under 30 years of age you will be able to apply for a Working Holiday Visa. If you have had a working holiday visa before you will not be able to apply for a second one. If you are over 30 you will need to either be sponsored by a company or apply for a residence visa.
If you need more information send me an email on Jessica.Stooke@Visalogic.net

Visas are only a year long, and you both (you and your man) have to be in a good trade to be accepted in to the country. you take a test on the internet that gives you points. if you get over a particular amount then you will be accepted. it costs around £150. It checks whether you are eligible and will let you know in a week or so what the outcome is. i think its www.visabureau.com

Perth is having a building boom at the moment. Your boyfriend may find it easier to get work here. I'm not sure about the east coast.
