Shifting to Australia advice

  • Tamworth is, as I understand it, a large country town. Although it is large, it ain´t no Melbourne <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Because of this I would imagine that, depending upon your skills/interests, finding work may be a little tricky (but not overly so). Because of that, checking the feasibility of work would probably be a good idea (and would be good idea in any similar situation).

  • Yep, you´ll be okay to just come visit and work without work visas and the like. Can´t really comment on the job situation in Tamworth though but it´s always better to have a job lined up. Of course that usually isn´t possible unless your working for a company that is going to send you over here.

  • Tamworth? *must resist jokes about hicks and country music* Tamworth is a fair way out from sydney, and from any major town. (thats cos it <i>is </i> the major town in the area. be warned. -Shark

  • Well, I think I´ve got the job part all secured and ready. I´m employed by Godfreys here in NZ, but they have stores all over Australia, including one in Tamworth. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> So hopefully I´ll be able to get a transfer. Fingers crossed.

  • Heh, yeah and vacumn cleaner related accessories. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Should be interesting seeing how it goes, my first day´s tomorrow so fingers crossed it goes well.
