Canberra Advice
Hello,
Right here’s a couple of questions re: my research for studying in Australia, although I had my heart set for Brisbane since it’s the Australian city where I have a few friends and I know it reasonably well compared to others because I have been there for a short while. As you know studying has an international student it is very expensive so in terms of finance I will have ( already started ) to create a budget for the course plus living etc… At the moment ( part of the research ) I’m looking @ Canberra and international fees compared to Brisbane seemed relatively cheaper I assume the cost of living is cheaper too, someo9ne can confirm? What I would like to know from our members in Canberra is how do you find the lifestyle of Canberra ( I heard its pretty boring ) but has a student I’m not looking for too much excitement, ( have to study not party hehe ) I believe it’s full of parks? To study it would be perfect that environment heheheh. Expensive/cheap? How far (car/plane) from Canberra to Sydney ( i also have a friend in Sydney, so I could always pop in to Sydney once in awhile during holidays or weekends not all of course )
Hows the job scene in Canberra part-time wise, ie: couple of hours Saturday and Sunday for students?
And if anyone has any links that might help I would appreciate it.
Regards,
Pedro
PS – this might sound like a stupid question but im learning to fly in the Uk so I would like to continue flying in Oz even though I will not be able to fly as much like I do in the uk, I will search the net as well but just in case someone knows, is there an aeroclub in Canberra???
Sorry for the grammar mistakes but it’s a bit dangerous surfing when you should be working hehehe so I have rushed through as quick as possible to write the above….

Can't really help in terms of cost of living - moving out to Canberra in Jan for job. Would be really interested what people say about prices etc!!!
Scutteruk has recently moved out there - he may be able to advise on the finance side of things.
As for flying clubs I haven't got a clue
I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what advice people can give us.
