I am currently debating in my head where to go first...i leave in august this year but am really unsure as to where i will go first...i can work the rest out from there but its that innitial place thats troubling me. I have narrowed it down between sydney and perth. I will be going on a working holiday so the ability to aquire a job is prefered!

Anyone with any ideas???

Stories and experiences would help alot as I am easily amazed and inspired.

Thanks all!!!

Sydney should be warmer than Perth in August.

if you plan to buy a car, do it in perth. sydney is the most expensive place to buy a transport in australia. you can find work in perth as well as in sydney, but the west cost is a cheaper place to live.

All of Australia is expensive now. Canberra and Darwin are more expensive than you would think for smaller cities.

Apparently due to staff shortages, the wage in WA is MUCH higher! one of my friend moved from Sydney to work in Perth for a year to save money to travel in the UK.

She works in finance though so not sure if the wage is industry linked but doesn't hurt to do a bit of research in that area first!

You all saying that Australia is expensive, could you compare it e.e.g with UK?

Sydney enjoys a temperate climate with a mild winter, and has more than 340 sunny days a year. The summer season is from December through to February. The average daily high temperatures in March are 24˚ C (76˚ F), and the average daily low temperatures are 17˚ (63˚).

Well, I would recommend you to start your journey from Perth because it is the thrilling city of Australia. It has a mixture of the Californian and Mediterranean climates, with soft winters and hot dry summers and also the sunniest capital in Australia with a standard of eight hours sunlight a day. Tourist visit there every year from all corner of the globe so visit there I hope you enjoy very much.

Here, you can simply do your travel from Sydney. The city has an extensive network of transportation systems that will get you anywhere. Besides, Perth would be a better way to cap your journey, as it has plenty of interesting places to visit.
