Do I come to Oz by myself?

[bensaunders88]

Hey guys,
My name is Ben and I am coming to Oz in a few months. just amking my final plans now and was wondering if anyone has any expeirence with a group called oz intro? Some mates told me about them and said they helped them out to get set up when they arrived but i dont know if i should just come out on my own.

Any ideas????

Yeah there are a few of those type of companies like that. I dont know abotu oz intro, but i came to australia on the ultimate oz package and that was brilliant to start my time here. They took us out and we did a trip to the blue mountains. Its good to do that stuff with a group of people when you first get here as it can be a daunting on your own.

all the best..James.

Hey Ben,

I went through Ultimate oz and my mate & I had an awesome start to australia, we couldnt have asked for better really.

We arrived in Sydney and stayed in the best hostel with an unreal bar, we went out on surfing lessons and did a tour of the whole city. We made heaps of new friends in our first week, it was great.

Go for it, you will have the best time when you get to australia. It is even better than what people say.

Hey - i did ultimate oz too and it was fantastic. The other good thing is that they help you set up your bank accounts and a tax file number (which you need to work over here) and an australian mobile phone too. I found it so useful. Actually what they helped me and my friend with the most was to find work on farms. We have got 12 months extension on our visas now so my best friend and i will have 2 years in australia. How cool is that? Honestly everyone loves this place once you get here.
Have fun & good luck.

Hi guys - I say Ultimate Oz all the way. My first week in australia was nothing short of incredible. Better than I had even imagined really & I met a great bunch of people straight up.

That's the best thing about coming out with a group, straight away you are into the social scene of going out & you get to see all the cool stuff straight away, such as opera house, bondi beach, surfing trip etc.

Yeah I agree with Mark, the best thing is being connected in to a social scene straight away and for that first week it is loads of fun. Then you have the next 12 months to do what you like but it gives you the right start.

I still think the best thing i did that week was the surfing lessons for a day. The place we went to was awesome and you have to do a bit of beach 4WDing to get there. I dont think it was part of the standard Ultimate Oz package but was worth getting that extra day.
