1.0 out of 5 stars very negative and inaccurate, 8 Dec 2005
This review is from: Living and Working in Australia: A Survival Handbook (Living & Working in Australia) (Paperback)
I bought this book prior to emigrating to Australia as I thought that it would be helpful, especially following the rave reviews and accolades it has been given. However in going through the book I have a number of issues with it.

Firstly, I found the book to be really negative, and if I didn't know better, it would have put me off going there in the first place.

Secondly, we (my wife and I) have found our experiences to be quite different to those listed by the book. We found the book to be either just plain wrong (e.g. with renting accommodation - we didn't need any references!) or by stating the blindingly obvious, which seems to cover about 90% of the book (e.g. wear black to a funeral, dress smartly for job interviews, buy a bike of the correct size).

Whereas what we really needed was accurate information specific to Australia, not vague or general statements, and this book seriously fails to deliver on that front. Since we moved here, less than 4 weeks ago, we have consigned the book to the bookshelf, where it will be left to rot. My sister is also emigrating to Australia, and I am not even going to give her this book, as I have found it to be so useless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the most comprehensive book on the subject, 17 Aug 2002
By Rob (Goolwa, South Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living and Working in Australia: A Survival Handbook (Living & Working in Australia) (Paperback)
I've read a couple of other books aimed at wannabe Oz migrants, and this one is by far the best. This book goes into detail, some of it is mind numbing detail, but could prove useful one day. Topics include visas, health, education, finance, sport, motoring and much much more.

By R. BRUCE-KIDMAN - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recentley purchased this book with a view of moving out to Oz, all the information that I have gleaned from this admiral title has helped me make up my mind,to make a trip out to see if the country is as inviting as I feel it is from the concise info in this book,
Thank you to David Hampshire for all his research which has saved endless hours of internet searching
