Hi there,



Finding a job should be fairly easy given that unemployment levels are fairly low at the moment. You can check out some local jobs here:

As for how much money you need to bring, that will depend on where you will live and how much you intend to party or do site seeing etc. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />



We have some topics on cost of living etc here:
