Default Trip to Sydney
Hi! My name is Anthony. I am 26, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. My best friend and I are looking to spend the next couple of months in Sydney.

We are trying to get an insiders perspective on where might be a good idea to look for a job, especially withint a the gay community, or anything available! We are seeking housing as well and not really sure where to look. It seems craigslist isn't as popular there as it is in the United States.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

-Anthony

You can have a look online at our gay papers

SX News

Star Observer

We have a couple of gay share websites

http://www.gayshare.com.au/resources...-accommodation

or if you want to get your own place you need to remember most are 6 month or 12 month leases but now and
again you can luck into a shorter one. Also in the gayshare they might be looking for someone who will be staying longer rather than just a short period. We have Pubs and similar that have accommodation thats relatively cheap.

http://www.courthousehotel.com.au/

is right on Taylor Square in the heart of whats left our our Gayland.

www.domain.com.au

Jobs - will you have the right visas ? if so plenty of Recruitment places you can search for Sydney. If you will be
working illegally then you will just have to wait till you get here and chat with other backpackers/tourists and should get yourself something.

Don't forget to check Gumtree for both share houses and for casual-type jobs

I will make sure I bring a CD of the USA Navy Band and of course I'll vote Democrat, I'm gay! :-) Florida is one of the worst states in the U.S. to be gay
