in perth still not yet reach below 4 degrees yet...but if the air too cold,my nose hurts cuz too dry while breathing!!

heh. i'm staying on Mt Coot-tha and i must say, looking down when i'm walking down the hill makes one feel like their on top of a mountain. i saw the entire place got blanketed with fog. that's how high i live

yea i did that during swot vac last year studying at a friend's place in st lucia with an inverter air cond. place was freezing if you dont have any heating on. but be prepared for a HEFTY electricity bill. friend paid ausd 600 in electricity bill during winter cause of me and my friends studying over at his place and turning on the inverter at any chance we could

fin heater is the most efficient actually according to energex (cant find the link to it sorry heh)

yea a good quilt with a thick blanket is all you need during winter. i go to bed wearing just a t shirt and shorts but layer up on blanket and quilt. it is heaven i tell you

how cold is queensland?

hi. i am in unsw currently. just want to ask, if i want to find a job for winter and also for saturdays(casual), any recommendation on places that will offer better pay? as in ard $20 at least p/h. to me, travelling is ok as long as i just need to use a blue/brown travel10 to get to the job location. XD thanks!!

Am I glad I'm in Queensland sometimes. Not only are fares still quite consistant, I get concession fares even as an international student!

Interesting to read in The Age that for a 10KM (about 2 zone here in Brisbane) bus trip, Adelaide comes up more expensive than Brisbane! But I think that is offset by having a place thats close to uni for (relatively) cheap.

On another topic, does anyone know of any nice and cheap places to stay in Brisbane? Preferably in zone 2. I don't want to be too far from uni, but I'll settle for a zone 3/zone 4 (MAX) is it's near the busway. My current place ends at the end of this month, and finding a place to stay while swotting is a nightmare.

Thanks in advance.

why didnt you ask for a longer contract?

try looking at Kenmore. heard the living there's not bad at all, plus its not that expensive. that is what i heard from friends staying there

and i think 10km is already into zone 3 as the distance between CBD and the indooroopilly shopping town (boundary of zone 2 and 3) is somewhere 8kms thereabouts

Try
www.careers.unsw.edu.au
www.seek.com.au

A pay of around $20/hr is usually for more skilled positions (internships, etc.), usually related to your field of study. Ordinary retail jobs pay less than this, but can accomodate first/second year students more easily. What's your field of study?

My place is supposed to be temporary. I'm living in a share house with 10 people. Lets just put it this way:having 7 familiy members over 3 generations under one roof there is tension and conflict, in the same family. Now put 10 strangers from all over the world with questionable hygene practices, in one house. Not a good combination.

Thanks for the heads up. Will look at Kenmore.Zone 3 is still ok as long as one is near the main roads, like Moggil Road.

whoa...chinese one ?
like tat also can.. three generation !

Some of us stay with 3 generations under one roof back home. Can't break away from the chinese mentality all the time.

My place has 10 people jammed into 1 house. We all have conflicts with our family members, 3 generations or not, living under one roof. Now consider me, who is living with 9 other strangers under one roof.

not a good combination i tell you.....................

ah no wonder

oh yes, try Chapel Hill as well

lol..perth everyweek support free transport. certain day you can just sit the bus/train for free.
pitty melb

Dont. VIC still only has level 3 water restrictions. Here in QLD we're heading to level 6, despite a nice rain last night and this morning, which is perdicted to go on until Thurs.

How are things in Perth, water-wise?

it'd better be raining down at the catchment areas

at the moment its still raining from last night w00t

u got wrong..alot immigrant coming in to melb rather than perth
alot of them come here increase the population
and water consumption also go up
and melb watr suppose to be in stage 4
but they create stage 3 a b c
so it is like wanna make people keep using till it is finish
the reason why perth..
there is disinclination plant there
so anytime u can just not worry about water usage
here melb summore is increasing in cost of living
so why not perth who is stilll growing but alrdy reach it peak and going?
the rain wont fill the catchment over night ~
