my friend and i are heading to australia and are trying to find out a general idea of how much we need..
what we know so far:
-we are going for 6 -7 months
-we are willing to travel as cheap as possible (i.e long bus rides as opposed to flights).. maybe buying a car tehre to get around?
-we intend to work as much as possible, but also want to be able to travel and do as much as we can afford


so... 6 months, working, having fun, ...

after getting everything we need (plane ticket, work visa etc), how much should we realistically plan to have for sustaining us while we are there.. (i know you require $5000 or soemthing in your back account in order to go to oz.. not worried about that, parents will loan me that hopefully, even if they dont let me spend it)..

how much bling bling do i need???

thanks!!
