@psychoboy Hi, regarding your question where majority of Filipinos are in Victoria... I thought about the same thing and did some researching at the Australian Bureau of Statistics using their free TableBuilder app at http://abs.gov.au/websitedbs/censushome.nsf/home/tablebuilder. I extracted the following data from the 2011 Census to get a list which Victoria suburbs had the highest number of respondents who stated their ancestry as Filipino (pati na rin Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese). Hope you find this useful

@psychoboy actually not sure pa e.. we'll check out if anyone knows a place to rent for us. di muna kami magiging mapili as long as reasonably priced and accessible yung train/tram going to cbd and decent naman na accommodation ok lang. baka may alam ka?

went to melbourne last last week for 4 days sa city lang kami didn't go out of the cbd. pero grabeh sarap ng food trip sa melbourne..very affordable yung food compared to sydney. daming asians in melbourne and it's a very young crowd.. dami din mga parang homeless/ "street" artist along the cbd specially sa swanston/ elizabeth street noh? hehehee!
if suburb bah.. which one is pretty decent pero not pricey? kasi nag river cruise kami sabi nung guide na yung house near the yarra river are worth a million to 8 million aud plus! hahahaha! but there are new condo units within the cbd which are less than 500 thou aud.. which isn't too bad dito sa sydney to find a unit that cost 500 aud you have to ride the train almost an hour away to find such prices.
mas affordable talaga melbourne pero it's much colder than sydney! if PR na kami and God willing everything is good.. i will still consider moving to melbourne..it feels so much like auckland lang.. at home talaga kami dun:)

Anyone interested a place to stay, we have spare room to share. Pm me: [email protected] or mobile: 0452114945
Galing ni Silvre, nakakuha agad ng facts, share ko lang experience ko, i've been here for the last 7 yrs and i think ang nakitang kong pinoy concentrated area is the western suburbs, kabikabila kasi ang mga Filo store, which means marami talagang pinoys, althoug kahit saan naman may makikita at makikita ka.
Family po kami.. me, wifey and baby. primary yung wife ko pero ako lang magwwork pag dating namin. plan namin mid-March to April siguro.

Dito kami sa may Williams landing, sa bagong area, sa may train station na itinatayo. 6 years na kami dito..Pumasok lang ako sa forum to check if there is something I can offer to those who need help. Hindi rin kc madaling lumipat sa ibang bansa lalo na at wala kang kakilala.
Dyan ako namimili sa Harvest ng mga gulay, mas mura pa kesa sa footscray..Are you a girl?If yes sana magkita tayo minsan.you can visit me here or likewise.

hi @vangievc yup girl na girl ako hehe. nice to know na meron taga pinoyau na malapit lang sa amin. we can meet up sana very soon. you can pm me your mobile number kung okay lang. wala pa ko nakilala na filos dito sa point cook but we have friends in derrimut and cairnlea areas. mga 7 months pa lang kami dito galing kami
