Hey there!  I'm a newbie to this forum and hoping to strike up a chat with anyone who's following a similar path to Oz. 

 

I'm awaiting a case officer to pick up my paperwork in Oz having started the process of applying for visa 176 (state-sponsored) in Jan 2010.  I've been accepted by NSW and while I watch the paint dry (wait for a case officer!) I have started looking into a few important things to me like investment property in Oz ahead of my arrival as well as looking for places to stay in NSW during the 2 years I will have to be there.   

 

My intentions are to rent the 2 years while I have to remain in NSW under visa 176 but to invest in a property before my arrival in Oz.  That property will remain an investment and in my third year in Oz I would like to travel about to find out where ideally I would like to put down roots. 

 

I also need to do my research on job opportunities - I am an auditor but would like to get back into the commercial world.  I am not a city girl really but recognise that I may need to bite the bullet to earn a higher salary during my 2 year stint in NSW.  Ideally I would like to live on the outskirts of Sydney and commute into the CBD.  I hear the northern suburbs like Frenchs Forrest and Belrose have rental accomodation nore reasonably priced than those closer to Sydney?

 

Does any one have similar thoughts/experience/tips and advice for me?  It would be great to hear from you. 

 

Cheers

 

Angie

hello everyone, I have yet to apply for the visa and decide where i'm going to live. I'm in college and i'm planning to study abroad in Australia to get a feel of it. Later on, my mom and i plan to live there. Anyone have advice on where to live or advice about new comers entering Australia? I would love some feedback. Thanks!

Hi Group,
I recently got PR Visa class VE-176 and planning to move to Canberra. Here is not much discussion about Canberra. I am into computer network engineer. How to find cheap and best accomadation in Canberra before landing there? So I can directly move to my new house.

Hi Marilo,
I lived in Coogee for three years and loved it. Although living on the beach is more expensive than inland, it's well worth it for the incredible feelgood lifestyle... imagine waking up and walking down to the beach to buy the sunday papers and a coffee or juice, then hanging out with friends on the sand. It's an amazing life.
A little bit cheaper and still beachy is the Botany Bay area from Maroubra Beach to Brighton-le-Sands.
Have a look at domain.com.au for house prices and the like.

Hi everyone!
I'll be moving to Sydney around February. I'd welcome any info, advice, etc. For a while I'll be staying in Coogee but I'd need something a bit more permanent so if somebody knows the South/South-East area well I'll sincerely appreciate your info. Thanks
