When I first arrived in Melbourne I was frantically looking for a job. I thought it would be difficult but it turned out to be fairly easy. I managed to get my first interview 3 days after arriving! Most of the places I looked at were online. Here is a list of some of the website I found particularly helpful:

Gumtree.com, www.microdec-profile.com, www.recruitmentsolutions.com.au, www.mycareer.com.au, www.mclabour.com.au, www.webwombat.com.au, www.pickingjobs.com, www.seek.com.au, www.rjcornish.com, www.juicygrapebackpackers.com.au

Hope this is helpful to you all!

Awesome Winston!, and if you are just hanging around for a few weeks I have found that surf and cycling stores are usually quite willing to employ people in very short term possitions.
