Re: The Official Loners Thread
I havent been on here since January 2008, but I'm now back fully in the hunt and looking at heading out to Aus on wither the WHV to start or and fingers crossed, the 457 sponsored visa from my employer. I'm a 27 year old male, heading out on my own! :) scarey but exciting at the same time.

Oh no Pony!! Hope it isnt too painful! At least you got it doing something fun like surfing! Could be worse, you could have just tripped over on the pavement or something! So, congrats on your first Ozzie injury! :thumbsup:
p.s. - how do Oz hospitals compare to the NHS?!

Oh no, that sucks. Hope it heals quickly and doesn't hurt too much! My ex flatmate had the fin on hers go into her mouth and rip her cheek open!!
I'm having massive trouble finding accomodation near the mine, nowhere is furnished! Grrrrr! |
Re: The Official Loners Thread
I have considered it BUT my company pays all my costs for accomodation etc but they won't pay to furnish a place... I would have to pay for it all and I only earn $350 a week!!!! No way would they let me claim it back on expenses.

I'm moving some point next week... apparently my company *will* hire furniture etc for me if I can't find a furnished place! I've finally found a lady in HR who can do her job! In six months HR have been completely useless and then I was told to speak to her yesterday and she's been brilliant! If I'd known her from the beginning I would have had so much less hassle! |
Re: The Official Loners Thread
Coming over next Thursday night for the whole weekend in a bid to get somewhere! One I have that the rest should fall into place.....eventually! now got to work out a route to drive my car over.......
Good luck to everyone.... |
