Hi,

Maybe this is not new info, but this website gives all types of holiday or short stay(not longer that 3months) accomodation

Still in SA but there is some places not too expensive, and photo's.

www.stayz.com.au

They cover the whole of Australia.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for all the other info.

Hi Leigh,

My English is not to good and I'm not sure how to prepare myself. :rolleyes:

See you there. :ilikeit:

Hi everyone

This list of websites is very comprehensive. You can add another one to the list especially for people who are relocating to Brisbane. It is *edited by host* I recognised a need for relocation consultants in Brisbane and just started this company. Since emigrating here I have met several South Africans who said they would have loved to have someone assist them upon their arrival.

Good luck! Brisbane is great!

What a great list!

I work for the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and I just wanted to let you know there is a more direct link to our specific "Moving to Australia" website. We have a team dedicated to assisting people who are moving to Australia to set up their banking and transfer funds before they leave South Africa.

Web: www.commbank.com.au/movingtoaustralia

Toll Free from South Africa: 0800 980 330

It's really simple - you'll have your account established in 1-2 days.

Hi,

And because all the south African men loves there DIY and love fixing stuff or making stuff please visit Bunnings Warehouse.

http://www.bunnings.com.au

It's the Australian version of Builders Warehouse and they are not that expensive. They are the cheapest on "braaiers".

Cheers

All the above shops put out catalogues of their weekly specials. These catalogues can be viewed at

www.lasoo.com.au

Call it a one stop shop to get all the latest prices.
