I wouldn't assume that you'll find things just as expensive across Australia as they are in Sydney.
We were in Sydney briefly when we first arrived. We found everything more expensive there. It was a relief when we left and found that things were a bit cheaper elsewhere. Hopefully you'll find prices to be a bit more reasonable in Perth. |

Re: To those thinking of coming to Oz...
I find it's getting more expensive - but then wonder if I'm losing touch with comparisons.
Today - 3 coffees and 3 cakes - $30. Can somebody in England tell me if 14 quid is a lot for 3 coffees and 3 cakes? |

I am coming over in November and currently researching as much as I can re phone, internet etc. Would you be kind enough to tell me who you use for $19.95 per month as it seems like an exceptionally good deal.
Thanks Nikky Telstra for the line only at $19.95 pm www.engine.com.au for the VOIP service at $19.95 pm including free land line calls all over Australia, and UK, USA, and another 8 countries. (+ extra telephone line) www.aanet.com.au for Internet at $49.90 pm (1.5Mb speed with 10Gb ? limit. I never go over 4gb) Total $90pm for Internet + 2 phone lines and all calls other than calls to mobiles that cost 22 cents per minute. |

Remember paying almost 3 pound each for coffee at Starbucks in the UK last year, and slices of cake were around the same..

I still think this is mroe expensive than the UK though isn't it? I seem to recall that my father pays about 35 quid and gets Sky, all phone calls (and free to Australia sometimes) and broadband. |
