Where is the best place to live in Australia?I
know some people have asked this question already... but hopefully i
can get new input. I currently live in Phoenix, AZ (America) and am
looking for a total change for a bit... I wanted to check out Australia
but I'm not sure where to go. Some people have said sydney and
Melbourne. I need a place where I could possibly either serve at a
restaurant or work in a salon eventually and make descent money to
survive. And if anyone has been to Arizona and lives in Australia any
comparisons and differences would be helpful:)
Thanks

Your
primary concern is going to be to get a visa to work and reside in
Australia. WHERE you live will most likely be determined by where you
get a job...if you are able to. Immigration to Australia is not
easy...depends on you having a highly needed work skill. You could
begin your visa research by seeing the site below. Obtaining a work
visa, and permission to reside in Australia can easily take at least 3
years even in you have advanced college degrees and high tech skills.
Australia has no shortage of workers for lower skill jobs, and no work
visa program for those types of jobs...this is just the reality...same
as other nations.Many people donot understand the complexity of
immigration until they begin to research it. However, you ARE fortunate
to live in the U.S. and have the opportunity to move to parts of the
country that are totally different than where you now live..and have
completely new experiences.

Having been to Arizona I
would highly recommend Bondi Beach. I lived there for 7 months and had
the time of my life!!! Seriously you should try it. The beach is
amazing, the sea is amazing and the lifestyle is amazing. You will not
regret your decision to go here should you go. Don't let the locals
spoil for you, who will often say it’s touristy. It’s touristy for a
reason - because it’s spectacular. Also, its an excellent place from
which to tour the rest Sydney has to offer. You will never be bored in
Sydney. There is a cliff walk that will blow your mind from Bondi to
Coogee beach. There are probably about 15 salons in Bondi and it would
be impossible not to get a great job as a waitress overlooking the ocean
- Bondi is famous for its coffee shops! You're 20 mins by public
transport to downtown Sydney. Enjoy!

Sydney and
Melbourne are fine but Newcastle is another great place to be. Darby
street is the place to work if you want to work in restaraunts.

You
can work at a restaurant or salon in probably every city or town in
Australia. If your income is not that high then i would recommend not
going for Sydney or Melbourne because they are expensive places to live.
I don't know what Arizona is like but you could try Perth, Adelaide,
Brisbane, Cairns...i could go on but once you get into the country it
shouldn't be too hard for you to find a job and a home.

Adelaide

Housings cheaper than the bigger cities and Adelaide is a wonderful place to live and work.
