OK, ok. I reckon it’s been a while since my last update. 2000 visitors a month and no new post for 6 months! What’s going on?I have been very busy between my trips and the launch of my other blog about “Generation Y” but, today is a new day. I have decided to change a little things around and to start a new blog from this one.

We are not talking any more about HR only, but… work! And not work anywhere.Have you guessed?A Work…in Australia!

Yes Mate!

From now on this blog will be your entrance to Australia. Job ads, tips to find a job, visas, just name it!

Google blog published an interesting “article” on google searches made by my fellow Australians.

The most commun searches are : Meat pies (National specialty, unfortunately), Aussie Rules (Footy), sunshine, sunburn, sea change, air conditioning, beer (Why only at this rank?), Torana (Indian word), snake, water restrictions, roast lamb (yum), quit smoking, backyard, child care, kids cubby house (Garden shelter and title of an australian movie)

At a more local level : Melbournians use Google for their questions about spring carnival, Sydney-siders about harbour and red wine, Brisbane : lifesavers and cattle dog (wouf), Canberra “home loan”, Perth : “mine jobs”.

It has nothing to do with this blog but still…

Francedownunder is the portal for French people living in Australia. Yes, there are some, and they are more and more to decide to leave Frnace.

Here is a summary of the Australian Blogosphere: “Dipping into the blogpond”
