Re: Student visa, 92 weeks study question!

I thought it needed to be CRICOS registered as 92 WEEKS and that's the amount of time to take the course.

However, If you work it all out it's actually impossible to study at TAFE for 2 years...

Re: House Prices set to jump by 20%

An excellent point. One of the issues Oz has is the fact that over the last 100 years there have been no new cities actually built other than the Capital - which considering it's % population growth...

Re: House Prices set to jump by 20%

Ofcourse they are overvalued, quite frankly it's crazy to suggest otherwise in today's global climate. Most migrants we know that have arrived since us are astonished at the house prices.

Quite agree, we battled our arses off for 2 years on the Student Visa, sometimes getting paid for the 900 hours work experience but more than often not! But this was our choice and our one shot so...

Re: Australia has a sh!tstorm waiting to happen!

I think clearence rates can be a bit of a red herring to be honest.

Re: 1.93's A$ to the Pound!!!

We still have some savings in the UK and a UK credit card.

Re: Who will win the Eng vs Oz ODI Cricket Series?

Feeble excuse in your opinion but it's the way I feel. I love Cricket but quite frankly I couldn't give a stuff about these matches. Like I don't give a stuff about England's friendly football...

Re: Who will win the Eng vs Oz ODI Cricket Series?

Not to us it's not, it's completely irrelevent.

We won what we wanted to win, the big one, the Ashes. No one gives a stuff here about ODI rankings - didn't even realise Aus aren't No 1 in ODI's...

Re: Who will win the Eng vs Oz ODI Cricket Series?

Let's be honest - nobody cares - it's the Ashes Test Series that's important.

I'm not just saying this because England are losing, but when the Aussies stuffed England 5-0 in 06/07, England...

Re: Birmingham City v Aston Villa, Basils Bar Gold Coast 13th September

A terrible game of football, both sides looked solid at the back, laboured in midfield and looked poor in the final third.

In the ned though it's all about the result of these games and that's all...

Re: A little warning for those planning to bring dogs over to Australia!!

If it were us in this situation I think we'd move, even back to the UK if neccesary before we gave one of our two up. Oz really aint all that when it's a choice between staying here but giving up a...

In our experience the 'laid back Ozzie' is certainly a myth, but it's one of many. Not that that's a bad thing mind.

Re: The Ashes

Ponting is simply finding out that it's much harder to win Cricket matches when you don't have Warne or McGrath to toss the ball to.

They got over 1200 wickets between them at 20 runs a piece...

Smile Re: Aston Villa 3 Liverpool 1

Yes a fantastic result - can't believe that was the same defence that looked so disorgansised against Wigan.

We looked solid and well organised and deserved the win.

Up the Villa.

Re: I'm over it. Effing OVER it!

Chin up Johnny.

As has been said it's very difficult to pick up careerwise where you left off in the UK. Particularly tough if you live in Regional Australia.

Re: Who's going to win The Ashes?

Yes but your assuming they'll go at 3.5 an over - I reckon it'll be a no risks approach and will leave as much as they can, especially early on.

At around 3 an over they'll be a lead of around...
