Brisbane... lovely weather!!!!
457 is a buisness visa where i am being sponsored by an oz employer (who pay for my visa and relocation etc) it lasts up to 4 yrs and can be extended.. not as good as PR though!
ill apply for pr if everything is going ok after a month or so of being there!

Re: Any Bristol area people fancy a meet?
looks like you might have to open your own shop cos starting salaries for dive instructors are $25000-$55000! (see link below)

(and dont think i didnt notice your bsac comment!)
.. to tell you the truth.. not many people were aware of bsac when i was in oz!
