Hi, I'm coming over to Australia on a working visa from February next year.  I've been advised to go to Melbourne for work but I want to know about other areas and heard from a friend you're an expert on Brisbane.  What can you recommend for a first time visitor who is looking for work?  Any advice is welcome.

    Southern South Australia has a moderate climate, with pleasant winters and warm dry summers. Rainfall is usually occurring in the winter months of June, July and August. Very hot climate can be expected in summer season, most notably in the northern parts of the country, such as the Flinders Ranges and Outback area. These areas have great expanses of desert where the days can be too warm, while the nights can be very pleasant. In order to avoid sunburn, seek shade whenever possible, especially during 11am and 3pm. The commonly used credit cards in Australia are American Express, Bankcard, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa. But on the same time few restrictions may apply in country region and smaller retail shops. the currency of Australian is decimal. Notes are available in $100, $50, $20, $10 and $5 denominations and coins are in $2, $1, 50c, 20c, and 10c denominations. Exchange facilities are provided at all international airports of Australia and foreign currency and travelers’ cheques are happily expected at most banks.

    Few things goods brought into Australia may need payment of customs duty and GST, although travelers are permitted to bring in a number of goods tax-free as hand luggage. Visitors must declare amounts of AUD$10,000 or more, or the equivalent in foreign currency, on arrival or departure. It is suggested that visitors have a clear idea about goods subject to controls, prohibition or restriction such as drugs, certain foods, plants, weapons and firearms.
    Mostly Banks in South Australia are usually open 9.30am-4pm and work from Monday to Thursday, 9.30am-5pm on Fridays. Automatic teller machines are commonly available throughout the city and suburban shopping precincts.

    You do need to apply for an Australian Tourist Visa for you to be eligible to travel to Australia. You can apply for an ETA Visa which are generally be granted within 24 hours if you meet their requirements.
