My husband is a car painter by trade and we need to find him a job over there eventually. What would be the best way to find a job do you wait untill you get over there or can you look for vacancies over here. It would be great to hear from anyone else going to or have moved to Melbourne or Victoria.

Yeah, Flora Hill isn't too far away. We were just below the Orphanage in Cotswold Cresc. The Bendigo Technical College (now BriTAFE) as you will probably know was part of the B.I.T which became part of LaTrobe Uni. One day I might seek out hubby for a good deal on a Toyota or Lexus - great cars and what I intend to get when we go back.

You wont believe what they are doing to the Orphanage next time you are here!!!!!!!
They are making it into a huge housing estate!! Building British looking terraces in the grounds and charging a bloody fortune for them and eventually going to make the old Orphanage building into apartments!!
Nice part of town though....
Hubby is a Mechanic at Toyota...but I am sure he can talk to the right people for ya
Are you planning to move back anytime soon?

Our plan is to go back 'sometime' and we have our place in Williamstown as you'll probably remember. Not to put too fine a point on it though we won't move as long as we are looking after my mother-in-law.

We used to really like it there but my wife got terribly homesick and hence the move to the UK. Strathdale was almost on the edge of Bendigo but it has now expanded a lot to the east. That mate I mentioned has a lovely place on the edge of bushland at the end of Osborne St - past the old Teachers College which won't be too far from you.

Your mate is just down the road from me literally. We live on the road at the back of Flora Hill Secondary....
So when did you move back to the UK then? I have spent more time in Williamstown in the last few months than I ever did in all the years I lived in Melbourne because of carolinegorka...I do love the area tho. Not sure its where I would live if we ever moved down from Bendigo tho.

Re: Victoria Anyone ????????
hey there
we're heading for bendigo in january we have friends there so using that as a starting point my husband paul has applied for a few jobs and the feedbacks good we use the mycareer website , they all say to call when we arrive also from what we've heard they tend to want him to start straight away so we've decided to wait now till we get there he wants a couple of weeks off first !! but there certainly doesn't seem to be a problem finding work - good luck x

Re: Victoria Anyone ????????
Thank you everyone for your replies. We have Carrum Downs, seaford and chelsea in mind but still dont have a clue as we will need a school near by for our 4 year old daughter. What age do they start school and what term or month would that be. Ive never been to Oz and my husband went over 10 years ago so it will be an experience of a lifetime. Very scared about spiders and snakes though :scared:

PS. We stayed in Chelsea for eight weeks and liked Carrum Downs, we would have bought there, but property prices were dropping.
