**How to find a place to stay for the couple of months we are there
And any tips or suggestions
THANKS SOOOO MUCH :)
Answer
September- November? That's spring. A lovely time to visit!
**We are wondering about popular places to visit, or stay.
It depends what your into. If you want to see our city life, there's a few to choose from. Sydney is our biggest City, with lots of clubs and restaurants. Melbourne is the second biggest city, with the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, the Eureka Tower. You can go up the top in the Skydeck. Gold Coast has beautiful beaches, but night life there can be pretty feral and hectic. Perth also has lovely beaches, and is one of our more tropical cities.
There are Motels named 'Mecure' that I highly recommend.
If you want to visit the desert of Australia, around Alice springs is fine. You can climb Uluru, I did a couple of years back, an awesome experience is assured. There's even safaris there!
You can go to Darwin and visit Steve Irwin's (RIP) own zoo.
**Places we could work, and the likely ness of getting a job with a work visa?
Work? How long are you staying for? A couple of months, not many people will hire you, sorry.
**How to find a place to stay for the couple of months we are there
Simply google city or desert locations and hotels.
If your planning on visiting the desert, there won't be many nice hotels, mainly just inn's and things. If you go on a tour, they should supply you with tents and you camp =)
There's plenty of beautiful Australian City hotels.
Heres a list of Melbourne hotels:

What are some main differences between australian and american cultures?
sapphiredr
please add your references
Answer
The difference's are huge, In Australia they make us all here very focused on education and active involvement in sport.
Also we are very career and business minded and all have had further higher education training.
There is very low to no crime or guns and children still play out doors and most people here prefer to be mainly all out doors socializing with there mates. The school curriculum system here is the highest in the world and it's a good place to raise children.
At 18 in Australia your a legal adult and can drink in bars and go to night clubs, vote, buy a house or business etc
People in Australia don't care or are opinionated by religion or politics or what someone on TV said. So you don't ever see religious people accosting people in public places or have people begging for money.
I live in Sydney in the CBD it's a very 24/7 lifestyle here with a very large range of things to see and do, being a world class city and there is no city on Earth like it, with worldwide known restaurants and cafe's, think of any country in the world there is a restaurant or cafe that caters for any countries cuisine.
Americans who come here really get blown away and migrate here like I did. The economy is very strong and the standard of living is very high there is very low unemployment heaps of business opportunity's. The minimum wages here are triple times more than the US minimum wage plus the benefits of paid superannuation, shift penalties and loading plus 10 days paid sick leave and five weeks paid holidays a year.
Women get paid maternity leave also a $5,000 baby bonus if having a child. It doesn't cost a cent to see a doctor or go into hospital or dentist they are free. Just like a 24/7 emergency doctor coming to your home.
We have many more freedoms here than in the United States also anti discrimination laws and same rights for all people and a very good legal system. Police here are friendly and helpful they don't point guns at people.
Australian fashion is world known we do dress up very classy and smart casual ,so you never see cargo pants or polo shirts or tented tee shirts unless they are tourists. Most every well known American actor, actress or singer all comes here to clothes shop as well many other known high profile overseas entertainers. So you see people like Paris Hilton, Ricki Lake, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Dianna Ross, Janet Jackson etc shopping here. They love it here because were no one ever bothers them, most are here now for Australian fashion week.
There are no ghettos or people living in trailer parks here or in low standard housing. There are a lot of weekend getaway's or family holiday resorts. You can go to the beaches or to the mountains, camping, or pack the car to go skiing or jump on a plane for a weekend interstate or to New Zealand. No where is crowded here. People are more laid back and everyone looks healthy, tanned and fit and speaks English.
The only Americanisms here would be fast food outlets like Mc Donald's, Hungry Jacks, Pizza Hut, KFC, Gloria Jeans, but there not really popular as the cafe's also the American shows on TV.
Otherwise you notice the big difference here in culture's as Australians aren't stressed out and don't act or think or ever materialistic brag of our wealth or stereotype people we use our freedoms of speech to improve and make life better in our country. Also we have a very good Prime Minister and Government in our free society.
Most American's don't realize how big Australia is it's just a little bigger than the USA and the state I live in NSW is twice the size the state of Texas and there are just only 20 million people living in all of Australia. There is 303 million people all living on the same land mass in the USA.
For a country with such a small population we have many well world know actors, actress's, music artist, artists, building and clothes designers, doctors, scientists, inventors, sports people as well as known world wide companies and financial businesses.
