Where to next?... Australia?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

As stated earlier, accommodation is the major obstacle. Maybe buying a minivan like a Kombi and living out of that is the cheapest option.


That is why I suggested Backpackers Accommodation. You have a place to stay, transport to the job and jobs arranged for you. Farms are so desparate for workers, several times this 75 year old pensioner was offered work of all types on fruit and veg farm's.

I think Australia is in for a bit of pain over the next few years.
Inflation is through the roof, fuel, interest rate rises. If Albo wins the election next week he is pushing for a 5.1% wage increase which will force businesses to shut up shop or cut staff. I'd play it by ear & sit tight for now.

They handled Covid in the manner of a totalitarian regime, it's a cultural backwater, the weather or more to the point the sun is horrendous and its not much more than a few generic faux European cities on the edge of a massive desert.

Edit: No offence intended to any aussies on here. Just a personal opinion. I hated the place. My least favorite country I have ever visited.
Tassie is beautiful
And the art museum is one of the best in the world

Tassie?

You wouldn't have a map of Tassie you could share, would you? Could help the OP decide for or against.

No, on the whole, I think he cracked it. You might give Boobs Flat a miss and head south to Big Bush and get directions to Tonguers Point. Before you know it, you're in Lake Fanny.
Although, you might not even make it if you get stuck in Mount Fatigue or you have problems with Windy Saddle.

Fair dinkum, if you wanna root a sheila in Straya, you got buckleys, wearing budgie smugglers while cooking the snags on the barbie; you're dreamin'! Hooroo
