Melbourne Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants!
Filed Under Food, Melbourne | 2 Comments
* Indians (Red, Green Curry) in front of the Spleen Bar, at the end of Burke street have a great selection of Vegetarian Food.
* Next to the Hawthorn station there is a (good but really expensive) pizza place.
*Vege2Go, Lygon Street, Brunswick.
*Moroccan Soup Bar - St Georges rd, Fitzroy North
*Soul Mama in St Kilda is good for large groups and has a nice atmosphere. They do a medium sized bowl of rice + 4 buffet serves for $15 or a large one with 5 buffet serves for $17.
It anyone has any other suggestion please feel free to post your comments!

Where to look for a job!
Filed Under Jobs, Melbourne, Recruitment Agencies, Recruitment Agencies | Leave a Comment
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.
