Best city in Australia,i am currently planning a working holiday to oz for this fall by myself.?

Question

hello,

i am currently planning a working holiday to oz for this fall by myself. My plans are to go with about 8000 to 10000 dollars cdn. I wouldnt mind staying in one city for the entire stay which would be about a year.I heard sydney is a great place to spend a year but can be really expensive. My question is what would be the best city to go to? Iam a nineteen yr old male and i would also like to get a job. What is the best city in regards to meeting ppl, cheapest accomodation, and employment. Iam lucky because i will not have to pay for my tickets because my dad said he would for me. So how much money should a guy bring. any help would be great!!!


thanks

Answer 1

newcastle or gold coast, both young towns lots of pubs and club, alot of work, top beaches, not many tourists in newwy but thats pretty good the accent will work better, the gold cold is near the tourist attractions so alot of travellers.
but if you wanna emerse yourself in aussies culture u wont find any where more occa then newwy

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a "best" city. What is the "best" city in the USA? What is the "best" city in Europe? I have lived in all the capital cities at one time or another for varying lengths of time. My choice would be Sydney but others will disagree. Sydney is a great place to live, particularly for a young person. Prices are much the same all over Australia apart from accommodation which can be more expensive in Sydney although Melbourne and Perth are fast catching up.

Look at the Sydney Morning Herald on a Saturday http://www.smh.com.au and check the classified advertisements for jobs and flat rentals. You will then know what you can expect to earn and how much it will cost you to live.

gday mate ,
check out western australia !!
start in perth in the summer (which just started) have a look at the southwest then make your way up the west coast when it gets a bit cold keep going north to broome , if you want to go that far(apx 2000 kms).
.the west coast is an amazing part of australia and not as heavily populated as the east coast .just check it all out on .....yahoo search or something . with the work ,it depends what ya want/have to do but if your not worried about getting your hands dirty you will get work anywhere .

good luck
