What is a good website (like Trade Me) I can use to find a flat/apartment to rent in Sydney?
Gumtree could be good for that: http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/
Gumtree is still around but that subdomain does not work anymore. Just use the general url instead:
www.domain.com.au - good for buying and renting property all across Australia.
We used realestate.com.au type that in google and you cant go wrong!
There´s a very good website to find roommates - www.flatmate.com - try it out!
We are moving to Perth next month and found the website http://www.share-accommodation.net a great place to find cheap accommodation if you don't mind sharing a house. We have found a place in Perth sharing with one lady who spends 3 months in UK and 3 months in Perth. All signed up and ready to move in on our arrival. Only $150 per week for the both of us and food is our only extra cost. Worth a look!
