The Best! March 22, 2006 Ben L (London, UK) 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I had no idea about coping with life in Australia when I first went out there but taking this book along with me helped me no end - it had everything I needed, from Brit tips on surviving abroad to dealing with TV repairmen who don't want to help you! I would recommend this book to anyone who is moving to Oz, even if they're only going for a short amount of time - it will be worth it!
Can't do without it... March 10, 2006 Cecilia Parker (UK) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
this is really useful and a must have for anyone planning a trip out down under for a substantial length of time - it includes all the small things you would never think about but you should know about - truly indispensable..
Best Aussie guide around... February 23, 2006 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is a no-nonsense guide that offers really practical information about living and, in particular, working in Australia. I had brought other guides on this subject but found this book stuffed full of truly useful information that I could use ahead of making a decision on leaving the UK. In particular, how to find out if there would be work for me when I arrived in the country and how to find potential employers – invaluable! It also gave up to date information on the cost of living and finances – none of which I had any idea of until I read this book. I particularly liked the Brit tips and felt reassured that the reader wrote this from recent personal experience. I will be taking it with me as I’ve booked my trip down under!
Excellent! February 28, 2006 Evelyn Collins (Devon) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is an invaluable guide. It's packed full of useful info and tips on getting by Down Under - concise, up-to-date and beautifully put together. I have only been back from Australia a couple of weeks and quite frankly I wouldn't have survived without it!
Essential reading.... January 30, 2006 V L Steward (Shepherds Bush, London United Kingdom) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
for those people wanting to work and live in Oz. If you pack one thing in your rucksack, make sure it's this! Seriously, it's a must-have, the information is spot on, helpful and easy to use...finding jobs in Oz was made significantly easier with this book as a point of reference. I'd like one for South America now please!
