Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
Government assistance
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Australia is such a huge country to visit and I wouldn't have missed all the travelling for anything in the world! Great and definately worth spending all that money on. International student night life is also abundant but a big + to the overall experience.
