They wore very little, but painted their faces and bodies in elaborate patterns. They lived in all parts of the island.
2 :
Do you mean aboriginal or white? If white then either army uniform, red coats, white/grey trousers and stove pipe hats, or fairly ragged dress of the 18th. century. The initial settlement was at Botany Bay. In 1788, the eleven ships of the First Fleet landed their 'cargo' of around 780 British convicts at Botany Bay in New South Wales. Two more convict fleets arrived in 1790 and 1791, and the first free settlers arrived in 1793. From 1788 to 1823, the Colony of New South Wales was officially a penal colony comprised mainly of convicts, marines and the wives of the marines. The early convicts were all sent to Botany Bay, but by the early 1800s they were also being sent directly to destinations such as Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's Land, Port Macquarie and Moreton Bay.

The first white people wore clothes like they did in the American Revolution. Aborigines dressed like cavemen

You might be able to manage it if you don't intend living for any longer than 5-7 years but our government won't allow you to even try. Just like someone wanting to move to Canada, you can't simply come to Australia because you think it would be a nice place to live. You won't be granted a visa to come and live here unless you have skills that we need so that you are able to contribute positively to our country- we have no provision for unskilled immigration. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/

you would be like a mexican wet back here

I've lived in Aus my whole life and it is a beautiful country, you would be nuts not to want to come here. I havn't really travled around Aus much, though Brisbane and Melbourne are both really nice, clean, and generally friendly places.
2 :
If you're from a country that has working holiday arrangements with Australia, you could come and work on a 12 month Working Holiday (UK, Canada) or Work and Holiday (USA) visa, but you are not qualified in any occupation that would enable you to get a visa to allow you to stay longer and will have to leave when your visa is about to expire. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/ Everywhere in Australia is safe but not many places are cheap. Of our capital cities, Adelaide has the lowest accommodation costs but there is plenty of work for temporary working holiday makers in smaller cities and towns throughout the country and accommodation costs are generally lower in those locations. On a working holiday, you can only work for each employer for up to 6 months and you only have 12 months in total before you have to leave the country so most people travel around picking up casual work as they go so that they get to see as much of Australia as possible during their limited stay here. EDIT: Jocccky, the Asker appears to be from the USA and Work and Holiday visas for US citizens are for 12 months ONLY with no possibility of a second 12 months.

It depends more on "what type of climate do you want to live in?"
4 :
Ozmania does not quite have it right !! You can actually do two years on a working holiday visa. This is for people between the ages of 18 and 30, who have no dependents and are citizens of countries who have working holiday agreements with Australia, To qualify for a second working holiday visa in Australia you must complete three months of seasonal work in regional Australia; anywhere in Australia except Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, the NSW Central Coast, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne or the ACT. Seasonal work is defined as picking crops or general maintenance crop work, or any other work associated with packing or processing the harvest. In the 1st year, spend your first three months travelling around fruit picking or the like, then in the remaining nine months and also the second year, you can work where you want. Australia is one of the safest places in the World. Take care of yourself as if you would at home. Some people say that Australia is not cheap. It will certainly not be cheap if you want to buy things from your own country. (they have to be imported)
5 :
If you want a relax life, Adelaide is the best choice. It has the lowest cost of living of all the main land in Australia.

Are English people entitled to live and work in Australia


Are English people entitled to live and work in Australia?
Just wondering if people who are born in england are entitled to go and work in Australia and stay there as long as they want. I myself was born in england but live in Ireland and my parents are Irish but because i was born in England does that mean i can live in Australia because if you ever notice how the English flag is in the corner of the Australian flag and Australia is still under the common wealth.

Anyone is thanks to the 'mulitcult' government. Now our country is flooded with indians arabs africans. If only we could have a whites only policy on immigration to preserve our race and culture.
3 :
Hi Michael, even though you are British you are entitled to work and live in Australia, you need to sort out a visa and all the relevent documentation, if you currently hold a job, such as chef, police officer, nurse, doctor, teacher, builder, plumber and you want to emigrate to Austrailia then you've good a damn good chance of having your application being accepted by immigration. You may also be accepted if your coming going to live there for further education such as medical school, college, university. Hope this helps
4 :
no the australians have strict entry requirements (also you should know that the australian flag does not have the ENGLISH flag in the corner)
5 :
No, of course not. Why would they be? Australia is a completely separate, totally independent country and is one of the most difficult countries in the world when it comes to immigration. The work visa requirements for poms are absolutely identical to the requirements for people from any other country - we don't play favourites. The fact that we have a foreign flag in the corner of ours is a sore point with many people here - best not to rub it in. If you're aged between 18 and 30, you are eligible to come on a 12 month Working Holiday visa which can be extended to 2 years if you do 88 days of rural type work (fruitpicking etc) in a regional area during the initial 12 months but at the end of that time, you will have to leave the country. On a WHV, you can only work for up to 6 months with each employer and will be expected to have access to around AUD$5000 (for initial living expenses and emergencies) plus either a return/onward air ticket or additional funds to buy one. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/ Working Holiday visa The only way you can live and work here other than on a WHV is if you have formal qualifications in a highly skilled trade or profession listed as being in need of workers; you must either pass a points test or have employer sponsorship and you must meet health and character requirements. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule3.pdf Occupations eligible for points tested visas http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/legislation/LegislativeInstrument1.nsf/0/2C492BB21C0997E9CA2577EE0018A41F/$file/10089LI.pdf Occupations eligible for permanent employer sponsored visas http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/legislation/LegislativeInstrument1.nsf/0/975751D41E27FC88CA25774A0013EC8A/$file/10032LI.pdf Occupations eligible for temporary employer sponsored visas http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/ Work visas

Hi Michael No, English people are not entitled to live in Australia permanently. People of between 18-30 are entitled to work there for 6 months, usually in farming, in a holidaymaker's visa, but if you would like to live and work there, you will have to get sponsored by an Australian employee, just like you would if you were thinking of moving to America.
7 :
of course not,Australia has strict requirements for foreigners wishing to live and work here
