[Valo666]

Inspired by this thread, I was wondering, wheres the best place to live in Australia? Im mostly looking for atmosphere, nightlife, job avaibility, housing costs. I'm asking because I've come to a time in my life where I feel I'm completely at a loss. I have finished my schooling, but the career I went to school for (automotive mechanic), isn't what I want to do with my life. So I am in the planning/processing stage of thinking about coming to Australia on a 1 year working Holiday visa. So hense why I ask the question.

Where do you think a good place for a forigner to come and be able to make a decent living for a year??

I hear that New Zealand place is better...

*ducks*

lol..I was considering NZ too. I was looking into maybe going there and stayin in Christchurch or Wellington. Ive looked into it alot aswell, but haven't really looked into AUS as much. I have a few people i know who spend our summers (your winter) down in NZ skiing on the south island, so I have plenty of stories and info from them. But I only have 2 friends who have been to AUS, 1 was only there for 2 weeks so she only did the really touristy things and the other spent 9 months with her cousins and pretty much spent her entire time in Sydney.

But, i guess ill hyjack my own forum, wheres the best place in NZ to stay??


Also, keeping on topic of both..ive been doing some job hunting over the net and I have found that probably 90% of the jobs i find say "Must have residency". Are there any decent full time jobs out there for non-residence??
