    thanks po sa reply. kagagaling lang namin sydney. naginsist po ang tita ko sya na lang muna magdrive at pinacancel na lang ang reservation namin sa car rental. sa may dural sila at malalayo po pala talaga ang distance ng mga lugar dun at parang postcard ang ibang mga napasyalan namin. we went to blue mountains, canbera and sydney. mas lalo po nainspire magmigrate. sana mabilis lang ang application namin.

    hello peeps,
    @aolee pasensya na isang dekada bago nakapagreply ulit.. dito na kami melbourne may2012 kami nandito. mas friendly mga tao dito kesa sa mga uncle at auntie ng sg hehe. i heard mas madami ang asian dito melbourne kesa sydney. sa lifestyle kelangan as much as possible magtipid para maximize ang budget. sa rent ng place dapat malapit lang sa bus stop at train station para di mo kelangan bili agad ng kotse and sa salary naman depende kasi kung single at family so di ko pa macompare. kung family naman at tight ang budget maginquire kayo sa centerlink ng family benefits kamo kasi alam ko meron ka maclaim na newstart allowance, rental allowance pati sa child care wala ng waiting period. nandito ka na ba australia?

    @indaydiego - have you started driving already there in Melbourne? Just want to check if needed ba sa VIC road ang LTO license certificate to indicate the number of year you have been driving.

    Thanks much!! :)

    @psychoboy nagstart pa lang mag aral ng driving para sa exam na. kelangan ko makabisado yung driving test route hehe. learner's permit pa lang ang meron ako and never pa nagdrive kahit sa pinas hopefully makapasa agad. hubby just submitted a copy of phil driver license then pinagtake sya ng driving test tapos regular license na sya.

    try mo kumuha ng license dyan sa sg ang pagkakaalam ko eh written exam lang yata pag meron ka na phil license. nasabi lang ng friend namin try mo din baka sakali pwede. not sure kung ganun nga.

    all the best sa ating lahat.. >:D<

    ang alam ko, kailangan hawak mo ung Philippine license mo for more than 2 years, para makakuha ka agad ng FULL license dito sa vicroads.
    If not, malamang na Probationary lang ibigay sau, kng less than 2 years ang license mo from the Philippines..

    Am not sure on 2 yrs; as per VIC Roads, they require 3 years experience from your 18th birthday...
