    @elleb1 ang industrial area nasa outskirt ng cbd. Yong nadaanan namin bandang campbell town pataas, mula engelburn. Papunta kasi kaming southside noon. Mostlikely malapit sa industrial area kami titira. Saang banda kayo tumira nung IE? May target naba kayong place?

    @elleb1 Yes, sa may south kami. Gusto namin yung community. Tahimik and very accessible sa transpo, shops, school, church and clinics. May mga interviews naman din, tyaga lang. Praying that soon makapag land na ng right job. Regarding sa move nyo, you still have lots of time para makapag save :) Napansin ko nga na almost comparative naman ang prices ng bilihin. Yung weekly groceries namin dito about aud 150 to 200, which is about the same din nung nasa dxb pa kami.

    @elleb1 , regarding train fare, just to share my experience ksi pumunta kami ng provencial south na talaga and lumabas kmi sa museum station ng sydney around 6 AUD lang ang nabawas. Have you tried going around the city by train? Nung kami puro train kasi Ung airBNB house namin sa Turella ay halos nasa train station lang, around 2AUD lang ang nababawas every time bumaba kami within the city. Sa airport lang ang malaki, nasa 17, tapos 19 nung galing kaming southland.

    @elleb1 @Megger bro, sis. Di pa nagschool yung toddler namin pero ienroll na namin sya after his bday this month :) Si wifey house muna until settled na sa school then eventually maghanap sya ng part time job.

    Regarding sa train fare, ang pamasahe ko from riverwood to Sydney CBD ay nasa 6 or 6.50 aud. di kami masyadong lumalabas, pag may interviews lang and paminsan minsan na pasyal. We also have a friend here who drives us around, kaya malaking tulong nadin.

    Regarding centrelink naman. On-line ang application. You need to disclose yung sources of income nyo and upload supporting documents like visa, passport, rent agreement (for rent assistance) Eto kasi yung basis ng govt to calculate. If wala pang work, at least estimate of your income. May option naman to update these details once magkawork na. Unfortunately wala ako idea kung pano ang computation. Magsisend ang gov't ng letter sa inyo indicating how much ang makukuha ninyo. We are receiving every 16th and 30th of the month.

    @Megger By the way bro, airbnb muna kami nung dumating dito tapos saka palang naghanap. Tingin-tingin sa mga websites and visited the units based on the advertised inspection dates. Nakahanap naman kami kaagad. Inapplyan namin agad yung unit na gusto namin and we personally visited the agent's office to submit our spplication and supporting documents (bank statements, visa, passport) We initially offered to pay 5 months advance rent, but thankfully di na nila pinabayaran. Normal payments lang kami: 2 weeks bond and 2 weeks advance rent to secure the property. Then subsequent rental payments na..
