Final comments
Combine your studies with a part time job is a good idea to make some extra cash if you wish to travel around Australia.
Ask for a GO CARD for students you will get great discounts when using public transport.
Read some local newspapers before you arrive this will allow you to gain some knowledge about what is going on.
