I've been offered a job by a friend of a friend. He's taking care of the visa paper work and I need to get some info on living around Melbourne.
I've got a place to stay for a few weeks, but eventually I'll need an apartment. I can live in just about any type of place as long as it's clean and I can get a good internet connection to stay in touch with my family.
Where is the most affordable place to look? I do plan on getting my own transportation, either a motorcycle or a used car.
After a few months (used to get to know the area) I'll need a 3 bedroom house (rental) to bring my family down until we can either buy or build. Suggestions on that?
And finally - any advice on day to day living costs. I need to diet anyway, so I'll be as cheap as I can on food (I prefer to cook for myself rather than order out). Telephone, internet and furniture are costs I need to check out.
Essentially, tell me everything! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

And adjusting to the style of living won't be a problem. My mates in Melton have already said that I'll fit right in - no worries.
