Re: How to apply for Engineering job sponsorship offshore?

I'd write to companies asking them if they sponsor offshore applicants. You may very well find one that is short of employees so is willing to give you a go.

Re: Does government help with Housing?

I remember reading an article about a family in Geelong living in their car while another put up a tent by a road to advertise their plight.

It went through my mind what on earth is going on?

Ace, what I find funny are the parents who believe that their child is the most precious thing on the planet, yet with 6 billion people in the world their child really is as common as muck :thumbsup:

Re: Does government help with Housing?

The hostel I stayed in in St Kilda was like a migrant arrival centre - everybody was there until they sorted out a job and house then left:p

I was only there for 8 days. That was a record :rofl:

If i were a real estate agent I'd say that they were quaint, rustic and traditional houses in the beautiful Australian countryside.

Re: Petrol prices by State.

The graduations on my petrol gauge aren't linear - I think Mazda put in an extra 'scare factor'. Car takes 30 litres. The halfway mark is when 10 litres are left, the next point is when only 3 litres...

General rule of thumb for Melbourne is estimate how much the property would be to rent in the UK and double it.

Re: Aircon or no aircon? Melbourne weather

I'm quite happy with a fan. I have a misting one. There's maybe one or two days a year here when it's unbearable. At that time it's best to pop around to see someone who has aircon :rofl:

Re: Do I need to apply for 457 if I'm waiting for 175 to be approved?

I was under the impression that you couldn't hasten the 175 with a job offer, so yes you would need the 457 (which would involve the organisation sponsoring you etc) until the 175 comes through.

Re: Cost of Housing compared to wages

Meanwhile in the parallel universe of Melbourne, houses tend to be around the $500,000 mark and I'd say that the mean wage isn't that much different from that in Tasmania.

That's a tricky question. Imagine being asked which UK city would you compare Paris or Berlin to - the answer is you can't really. They're different in their own little ways
