Stef Colquhoun Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi all, the husband and I are landing in Oz on Jan 12th 2017. Initial plan is grab a rental car from the airport for a couple of days and head...somewhere. Our worldly possessions will be arriving 8-12 weeks after us so with only suitcases to our names, what would be a good 'first step' for those 8-12 weeks? We were thinking 4 week furnished holiday rental (just sucking up the cost) and possibly then trying to do some house sitting while looking for the long term unfurnished rental once we have done some area exploring and found somewhere we really like. What are your thoughts? What would you do differently? Ideas, thoughts, advice, criticism all welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think you do what's best for you. Do you have jobs to go to - will that fit in with the house sitting proximity to work (are house sitting gigs easy to come by?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I signed up for house sitting & the two positions that we were interested in were given to someone else. This might be because it was our first time. Also they like to meet you first saying that 'we need to see if the dog gets on with you' . . as it was interstate it was not possible.
