    Is This Viable

    I am at a bit of a crossroads in my life at the moment. Want desperately to get to Australia, too old for a working holiday visa, and not sure if my skills would let me in. But I have heard that there are some who enter Australia on a holiday visa and then go into hiding. Is this an option I may consider, I know it is a risk, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Cheers Idiot.

    Oh mate, some might say go for it, but you would have to work black govnr. Why not come in on a tourist visa and hope you meet an ozzie bird, they are pretty fit!

    Is that an option hatandswag. Would that let me migrate? Plus I am so out of touch with the dating game, at a loss at the best of times when it comes to the ladies. But I have heard and seen that the Aussie woman are a bit more full on than those in the UK.

    Interesting scenario, i suppose the worst that could happen is that you would be deported when they found you, so that would save you buying a return air ticket.

    I guess I hadn't thought of that Orph. But that would then mean me being banned wouldn't it form trying to emigrate.

    Hello Saggy.

    I have had northerners up to my neck, work with a lot of them, not all bad, but the Eccles cakes keep getting stuck in the corner of their mouths.

    I hope no one minds (Orph/Saggy) that I am shortening your names, must be the time I spent in Australia, and no offence meant.
