How far is Geelong from the airport?
My DH could very possibly have a job offer, in Geelong, but we are going with STNI visa to SA, he's thinking of travelling on weekly basis, but of course if it's long way away from the airport, it might be better if we just validate our visa, in SA.
Go and live around Geelong, until he's contract is finish, or on the other hand if the driving distance is not so far way from the airport maybe he can do it that way, & I live in Adelaide with the children, can anybody advice me what sort of distance are we talking here.

Isn't one of the conditions of this visa that you have to "Live and work" in your sponsoring state for two years, unless you can prove that you have tried unsuccessfully to find a job.
I would really get professional advice before taking a job from a different state, as it could result in your visa being cancelled.
I may have it wrong, but that is what I was told when we were supposed to apply for the STNI Visa.

He only wanted to take short contract with them, and live in SA, travel there maybe for 6 months.
Back to the drawing board again.

I think I confused everybody, sorry. I know how it works here.

I know what you mean. It is one of the reasons i wanted to go there.
I'm sure that a suitable job will come up in SA, then it will be problem solved
