My advice
if you are planning on moving around a lot, is pack what you think you need, then take it all out, then take away half of it, then take away half of what remains, then just pack 2 T-Shirts, 1 pair of jeans, 3 pairs of pants (one for best, two for everyday) and two pairs of socks.

If you are planning on being a barista in the UK, prepare to be dissapointed at how crap the general standard of coffee making is in comparison to everywhere in australia (except that shit cafe on George Street in the rocks that I was in yesterday).

Also, I believe that you can get a general two year casual work visa for the whole of the european union, though I could be wrong on this. It's worth getting that as I think you will find that a lot of agencys and bars these days will pay you through official channels rather han cash in hand, certainly in the UK anyway.
