Congrats Perky, i guess in a way we are lucky... still courses going on in june, others will have to wait another couple of months. 15 months ago i applied, worth the wait though i'm sure.

Yeah, my fiancée and I will be moving down there for the year. Not sure how I'll handle the weather, but it's only a year so I guess I'll just have to suck it up!
Now all the fun stuff begins like getting the house ready to be rented out, storing furniture that we're not taking, etc. Oh, and looking for a new job for the missus!
Congrats to you guys too!

Oh yes, the joys of relocating is always fun... NOT !
The weather isn't as bad as everyone makes out.. I lived there a couple of years ago & you'll be amazed at how much Melbournians embrace the weather - nothing deters them from being outdoors at sporting events/cafes etc !! I can't wait to get back there.
I'll be moving down mid Feb to settle in.

Congrats to everyone else that got accepted onto March course. It appears at this stage approx 6-8 males, 2 females!
1208Punk... St Kilda is a great place to live, although perhaps not ideal for whilst at the academy.. you will start at 0730 each day, so would be battling with traffic, plus tolls each way daily.. & not a huge income for 12mths.
I plan on Port Melbs (I have lived in St Kilda & Southbank previously) - If & when I graduate. However will look to live close to the airport whilst studying. As I don't want to waste 2hrs a day travelling when that could be spent studying.!!
Will be great to all catch up just prior to starting course though! :-)
p.s... who is posted to Melbs after successfully completing course?

Well looks like everythings happening.
Question: What do you guys think about the Tower Control path? Does it stop you from doing certain things? Are you likely to get moved around a lot?
I just got offered a Tower Contol position starting in march, seems I must have been at the limits of the intakes. I put down Melbourne as my preference, and I've been offered to start that in April. I'll be one month behind all you guys but wondering if i'm being silly to let the Tower position go.
Ahh quick decisions.

Last year I was lucky enough to sit in for an hour and a half in Melb Enroute followed by an hour in Melb Tower.
Melb Tower gave me a real buzz (I'm a bit of a plane-nerd anyway), and although it's a long shot, if there's the slightest chance of eventually ending up in a busy Radar Tower somewhere, I think I'll take it
