That's not a problem, you can enter anywhere in Australia. In the declaration card just write the address of your relatives. Sa Sydney din ako dati nag initial entry since andun lahat ng kapatid ko.
Cheers.

#1: Inalis na po talaga ng AUS ang visa label. We may find this corny pero ganun na sila ngayon and I think sila pa lang ang naka-ganito and in the near future di malabong gawin din to ng ibang bansa. All you need to bring is your visa grant letter.
#2: You can ask the AUS embassy for inquiries. For PDOS, no need for it coz the seminar is for migrants only.
Just correct me guys if I'm wrong.

salamat! ung tutuluyan kc namin pansamantala is port wake field 5550 ang postal code. malayo daw sya sa adelaide. 97kms from adelaide ata so pagnagtaxi kami baka malaki masyado ang abutin.
ung sa question ko pala earlier, usually how much ang agent fee kung tutulungan ka nila mghanap ng bahay?
thanks ulit!

The location can also affect your job application, I experienced that kind of issue.
That Port Wakefield is like applying a job in Makati but living in Tarlac.
Try searching at adelaide gumtree for temp accommodation bro.
I was surprised when I checked the location on my GPS.
