- Here you can read about Daniel McClure’s one year adventure in Australia.

Living in Australia:
- Once in Australia, depending on what type of visa you came in you may qualify for certain social-security payments. To see if you qualify, check out Centrelink’s website. (PS, don’t take their first word if they reject you. We had to get them to look up my status a few times before they realized that I was exempt from their 2 year waiting period).
