is it worth takeing a laptop with me so i can send pics email etc?

Yes. If you have room in your luggage

Also what bout a phone would it be too expensive to call from Australia with a mobile phone?

Not too sure about transfering sim cards and networks etc. Ask your phone company.
you can buy international phone cards on the net. Investigate

One more thing how would I go about askin my aunt if i can come over? She hasent seen me for years I think itwould be more appropreate to send a letter than calling her. What do u guys think??


how old are you again? (rehtorical question). look you might think this a bit tough but if you're thinking you might go overseas you need to be able to deal with this sort of stuff yourself. Shes your Aunt you decide.

Will your friend be staying at your aunt's place, too? Perhaps you should ask your aunt first, to see if that's OK with her.

Ya im goin to ask. She has a big house so maby we could have a room to ourselves but if she dosent agree then i would have to look for an alternitve like........ a hostel or summet. I also have been told that the bus service in Perth is not as good as it is in England (a bus every 10 mins to go anywhere) is what ive been told true? Because i dont want to be a burden on my aunt, and be a bit more independant. (could i rent a car if i have a full UK driving licence but i would be 17 dunno what the legal driving age is in Australia)

Depends on where in Perth your aunt lives.

I'd bet that there are places in England where there isn't a bus every 10 minutes top go anywhere!
This link should give you an idea:
www.transperth.wa.gov.au

The population of Australia, and especially Perth, is nothing like the population of England - so there are some trade-offs -
fewer people = more open spaces = more fresh air = fewer crowds = fewer buses!.

You probably wouldn't be able to hire a car - as you'd have to be 21 - I think.

Australia can be a little more conservative than europe/UK ddt, your aunt may frown upon this in her home at your age. ive sent you a PM with a link to another site you may find usefull to browes. Its really about student exchanges but still may have usefull info for you.

One thing you may like to explore is the student exchange organisations such as rotary, AFS AUYA, etc google "student exchange" or something similar and see what pops up
