A: I would hang around Sydney for the first few months as the weather and beaches are much nicer . Plenty of time for Melbourne Later. You should not have too much trouble getting bar work as Christmas is a busy time so lots of places like to put on casual staff at this time. Sydneysiders are very friendly and they love Irish people. There are plenty of Irish pubs around so you shouldn't be too lonely . I would check out Backpackers type accommodation as that should be the cheapest. Also check out the hostel in the Southern suburb of Cronulla (1/2 an hour from the city) I have heard that it is good
