Its strange but this place doesn't count towards the 2nd year visa...probably because its technically a "resort" in that it has motel rooms and a restaurant but really its a basic roadhouse with massive tours on their way to ayres rock......i'm about 3 hours outside of alice springs and i'm here to make the money i need to travel straight for 2 months before i have to go home.....i saved nothing in the cities!
what about you? you think you'll get sponsorship and not need an extension...still in melbourne?
