FAO: Aussies / People who live in Oz
Been offered a job down there . Not much money though - miles less than I earn here. It's in Melbourne.

But I really want to move out there.

What's the Cost of Living like over there? Thought it was comparable to Manchester, with rent slightly more?

what are the shools like? advice? cheers

Zing...
I is here.

Depends what your salary is.

Beer is about the same.

Rent is fairly steep. I pay $1200 a month for a two bed flat.

Internet is fucking extortionate - £100 a month for 30/60 gig download.

You're too old to go to school so forget that one.

All in all it's a bit more expensive than Britain but cheaper than London.


And it's awesome. Come on down.

Cheers

Ah
$70 isnt it? I pay $100 for 70gb 1500/256, but Tasmania is behind the times for broadband. Mind you, 1500/256 is fine for me unless I am in a hurry to obtain a *cough* linux distro.
