You'll be fine. Very Happy

Melbourne is pretty user friendly, really. My suggestion is to figure out a place to stay temporarily (hostel, etc) to give yourself enough time to find a share situation you feel really comfortable with. Best advice: Don't try to do too much from over-seas. It'll turn out to be quite different to what you'd anticipated, you can bet on it.

Good luck!

Yes, you can!

But why would you do this? Confused

I see that you've arrived, Galilite!
Could I ask where abouts in Melbourne you've settled? Just curious.

Hi MsOlga!

Oh, I'm currently staying with a friend in East Brighton (nice but boring...) and actively looking for accommodation to share. From what I see now it'll be either Mt Waverley or Canterbury. Most of the folks I know live in south.

Probably will relocate in the end of this week, but still open to suggestions!

Good to see you made it, Galilite! Welcome! Very Happy

Are you SURE you don't want to live a bit closer to the centre? You could still be "south-ish", but have many more options of things to do! Very Happy

I do!

My primary destination was St. Kilda. But it looks like 99.99999% of people who have a choice want to live there as well (can't blame them!), so it gets either a little more expensive, or the accommodation becomes backpacker-quality (yesterday I was offered to share a 100 years old house!!!). So does Richmond and Carlton.

Your favourite Brunswick got a little expensive as well...

Hey, don't totally write off the 100 year old house without checking it out! It could be interesting! (Seriously)

Actually, in Germany I lived in a 100 year (or maybe even more) old house, but it had meter thick brick walls. There were no problems except for the floor which made loud noises every time one steps on it.

But that one in Richmond was wooden! How is wood supposed to last this period of time, especially when it's stuffed with backpackers Wink

?

Stuffed with backpackers, eh? Shocked

Nah, forget it!
AND wooden & falling over (or close to it) .... Yep, keep looking!
