Sorry to come to a less romantic point, but I would like to know what's the cost of life there. How much people are paid, how much an appertment or a house cost.
And do you know in which condition I could set myself up there?
I've made my mind a long tie ago upon the fact that I wont spend my life in France it's a pretty shit place to live.
They pay 20 bucks an hour here, plus you get to take home the biggest head you clean,
:)
australian bucks or amrican bucks?
And for which kind of job?
Huzzah! Thank you very much Billy_Dean, this thread has won me over. I'm almost positive Australia is where I will be moving, when I can.Quote:

This place has snow cams and weather details, but it's summer now, so off season.
Perisher Blue
Probably the best known.
Mount Buller.
Falls Creek.
Check out the Snowboarding.
Charlotte Pass.
Thredbo.
That's just an example mate, I'm sure you'll find plenty to do.

SG, I didn't see that film, so I can't comment. The biggest problem with Aborigines here is "Grog", (alcohol). The government handouts to them is enough to ensure they can spend their whole lives drunk if they wish. Alcohol has decimated their society, but what to do? Many aboriginal communities have banned grog altogether, this makes life much easier for them, but just moves the problem elsewhere.
Leonidas, the standard of living in Australia is quite high.
World Factbook - Australia.
This site will give you some comparisons.
Housing in big cities is expensive, as in most places in the world. But cheap in comparison to some cities. As an example: If my daughter were to sell her 3 bed house in London, an ordinary end terrace, she would be able to buy the equivalant house in Sydney, or two houses, a boat, a four wheel drive, and money in the bank in Cairns.

Haha! Leonidas, I was replying to Imnotanaddict, that was for cleaning POT!Quote:
