House Sharing
Hi I notice that many families are off to Oz or have done so already and have gone into their own rented accomodation.
Have many single people arrived in Oz and gone into a house share? I shared in Sydney during my backpacking year but this time I want to meet people that are not staying temporarily.
Has anyone gone into a house share with other permanent residents or Aussies? Was it easy enough? Any tips?
Cheers
Michael

Re: House Sharing
I'd also like to know the answer to this question as it would be a springboard to meeting new friends.

All depends, I suppose, upon whether you are actually looking for an easy room mate or not.

Re: House Sharing
There is a fair bit of flat shares in the local papers in Sydney, but it depends on the area.
Its also a cheaper way of paying for a mortgage !!!!

Re: House Sharing
i've lived in share houses in oz for the last 4 years, and think its definately a good way to meet an aussie friend base. i'm finally moving out on my own (in under three weeks) if i can find somewhere to live that isn't a sh!thole.

Re: House Sharing
Another good site is http://www.gumtree.com.au/ - this is the Sydney one, click on the other Aussie city links at the bottom of the page.
I found this a great help when I lived in London - if anything it might give you an idea of prices and areas.
Good luck
