How's it going guys?!

Been into cars my whole life and just enjoy the culture completely. Especially the low lifestyle.

I have the option to study abroad next year...one of my options is the University of Wollongong.

While I'm there I'd like to have an apprenticeship/internship with a shop in the area. I'm a graphic design student, but I also really enjoy working with cars and really getting my hands dirty. Welding and metal work especially. :D Just curious if any of you know what's good with the car culture there. I understand it's pretty close to Sydney.

I hope I can get some killer suggestions from you guys in order to make this the experience of my life.

tstacks out.

No I am not there yet. I am trying to get an idea of what to expect when I go either this summer or fall next year, which might be your spring...i'm not sure. I live on the East Coast USA.

tstacks: Most of us are from Melbourne, Victoria. I've never been to Wollongong but I've heard it's really nice there. It's got nice beaches and is popular with tourists, I think it's about an hour south of the states capital, Sydney. So yeah, I think it'd be a pretty chilled out spot, not bustling like Melbourne or Sydney, but if you get the urge to go into the city it's not too far away.

What kind of cars are you into?
