@gracee, still a long way, July. Try checking this site, it's an accommodations for students, but i was told that they also accept non-student, try browsing and inquiring. It's very near the USQ-Toowoomba. In and around that area, madaming mga pinoys, I can give u their contact numbers and ours just in case, but not in here. I believe per person ang payment dito even if you're intending of going sa mga pinoys for bedspace. May mga short term accommodations (motels/hotels) but theirs is a per day rate, not recommended sa mga starting na gaya mo.

To succeed, take a lot of courage and determination, mix in a handfuls of faith, prayer and trust, stir in with some social interactions (pakikisama) and respect, and for sure u'll overcome the hardship.
