Short Term accommodation upon arrival in Melbourne
My partner and I will be arriving in Melbourne March 2006, and are looking for short term accommodation at a reasonable price to give us a chance to find our feet, oh yeah and buy a car, scout the areas out, and then maybe look for work :scared: :scared: :scared: Anyone got any suggestions, have put on Brit Vics as well

You haven't made clear what you consider a reasonable price, and what area (read how far out of the CBD) you want to stay in.
I'm assuming you want someting self-contained, essentially a flat, and not a hotel room. There are lots of short term accomodation, or 'serviced apartments'.
If fairly central, then obviously you are going to pay more. Try doing a search on the 'British Apartments' in Melbourne which is fairly central. I've not stayed there myself.
When I did use serviced apartments, I used

...but you'll pay for it.
If you were not aiming for the centre, then please tell us where you want to be. My recollection of car hunting while I was staying in the CBD hotel was one of lugging myself along train lines to car showrooms!
