Re: Frustrated, confused.. Can any1 help with Working Holiday Visas?
Boo, 4 days older!! :-( now i'm depressed!! lol
I'd be really scared if i'd never been before, wondering if I'd like it! I'm sure you'll love it though, I know I do!!
My auntie and uncle live on the gold coast, that's where we want to live, in Helensvale, it's about 20-30 mins from brisbane. I went with my mum, dad and brother the first time, we stopped for 2 days in Hong Kong, didnt like it there, it was really smelly and people seemed to be staring at me, was scary! Then we stayed with my auntie for 2 weeks and took a trip to Sydney.
The second time was with my o/h. We stopped off in Singapore for 2 nights, which was amazing, I'd advise any1 to stop off there!! Then we went to Adelaide (where my o/h's relatives live) we stayed with them for 5 nights, was a bit of a snooze fest tho cos they're really old and kinda told us when to go to bed lol. After that we went to Sydney for 2 nights, then Ayeres Rock for 2 nights (was amazing there), then Cairns for 2 nights (rained the whole time but still loved it, even though we saw a shark in the reef, I was terrified). Then we went to brisbane and stayed with my auntie on the gold coast for 2 weeks and went on loads of day trips.
Absolutely loved it there! and can't wait to go back!
We should keep in touch and give eachother advice, You'll probs be just leaving Brissy by the time we get there though won't ya?
Jen, You're near Brissy too aren't ya? Would be fun to meet up!

I know, dear God I'll be 30 next year 
and I'm STILL no closer to where I want to live!!! I left Scotland when I was 24 and if you'd told me then that I'd be 30 and STILL not made it back there, I'da biffed ya! But it doesn't feel as bad now as it did at 24...old age numbing the pain
You can try outside Brissy too - Ipswich (cheaper houses/rent, lots of schools). I was in a rural town between Bris and Toowoomba and once 2nd term came round I had constant work and they are still ringing me for contracts even tho I've moved to NZ...where I'm working in a cafe because I don't have my rego here...it'll all make sense when we're 90 I suppose...I'll be there before you guys by the sounds of it...but a little after Jen
