Paris will be along soon and be able to fill you in.
One thing I know she will say ... It's very very expensive.
Lol and the exchange rate dollars to pounds is shit now way less than when I used to go
The longer you go the better it is money wise as it becomes cheaper
One month you might break even maybe more if your lucky
At a rough guess Your looking at around ?1500 a week min cost when you factor in flights / advertising , internal flights , accommodation for a month. as your flight will take up a good chunk
Yes you can get flight for ?500 but I think I generalky paid around the ?700 mark
Advertising ?100-?150 a week
More if you do newspapers
Accommodation depending on where you stay can be hideous. ?150 -?200 a night for a travelodg in Perth
Winter is more expensive
Avoid school holidays
I found it to be the safest place I have ever worked
Wouldn't go back because it's to far ,
I was interrogated by customs and realistically you need to go for a few months and hike I can do a month 3 months is to long
You can escort legally if your on a working / holiday visa
You can't if your on a tourist visa ( 3 months )
I did Perth
