7 Things You Need To Know Before Moving To Australia

[@godamid4889]

You are bang on about the tipping. The aspect that you tip because you are happy with the service still exists, and it isn't borne from obligation, it is a genuine show of appreciation.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Yep

We’ve just submitted our 190 visa yesterday 🎉 felt sick paying the nearly £5k fees for us all though 🤢 it’ll be worth it!

[@abdoaiman]

Good luck with that.. Did you use the true blue services & if you can explain more why you have been charged all that amount.. Many thanks from Manchester 😊

@@abdoaiman I just did it myself and those were the fees charged by the Australian government for four people x

Love looking at your family's video's on You Tube. I am currently packing up my life again after 8 years in NZ from Ireland so not my first time emigrating, and moving to Melbourne in the next few weeks / months depending on savings and job. I can work anywhere as people with Kiwi passports don't need a visa. For people who have the choice would you think it is best to get a job before I come or are employers mainly looking at people already in the country. I am looking at jobs in projects. Cheers, Pauline

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Good luck Pauline. Wish you all the best!

I love knowing exactly how much to pay before seeing the bill, I can even get exactly change ready if I want to use cash to get rid of my coins.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

A lot of the time they appreciate the change too

holy shit mate, you are as kiwi as can be even though you tryna talk like aussie love your video, thanks for the tips

The backing track is too loud, it's hard to seperate your voice from the melody. Otherwise great content!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Sorry about that William

[@BlueNoobfan]

If you are near Killarney vale, you probably heard this loud bang. I’m sorry for the school there, there has been a thunderstorm ⛈️ and we all saw that lightning before it all started. It lights. Then bites. / it’s really loud. I guess your happy being comforted by all your friends in that school and all the other schools there near. I can’t believe we had to go to sport near the thunder.

Maybe I've missed this, but do you have a complete guide on how you did it? :)

[@geddon436]

I watched a video about people who work in the mines in western australia. I wouldn't mind doing that job, especially, as the video showed basically a camp/miniture town built.

Might want to check the microphone again, Ross. No right channel.

Yeah, might have to get a new cable

Can you do a video on the new 417 WHV visa laws? The UK has made a trade agreement which is massive!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

I'll take a look

[@Schlimaazl]

@@ThatJohnstonLife thanks! It means that UK passport holders that want a WHV don't need to do any sort of 88 day work to get an extension - should be passed this month (hopefully). Keep up the good content!

Not sure why but your voice is only in my left ear.....it's possibly my headphones, anyone else have the same?
