British national too old for a working holiday visa, Australia?

Posted in Vacation by admin on March 2, 2010.

My friend is too old for a working holiday visa (>30) and is not looking to migrate. He is an IT professional and only wants to be in Australia for about 3-4 months but wants to be employed full time during that period. The Australian immigration website only seems to show info for their working holiday visa and for people who are planning permanent residency. Is there are middle way? What sort of visa should he get, does he need to find a job here before he arrives, does his employer have to sponsor him?

What is a good website to find vacation destinations / vacation packages in the British Virgin Islands?

My boyfriend and I want to plan a romantic getaway (maybe a honeymoon) in the British Virgin Islands. All of the websites I have been to so far don’t seem to be legitimate, and I have heard of nightmare scenarios like vacation scams. I don’t want that to happen to me. My question is… Is there a website with a good reputation that can help us plan our dream vacation in the British Virgin Islands?
