what up from Toronto, Canada
Whats up everyone.....i'm from the home of Tranceaddict ( Toronto, Canada). I was think'n of com'n up to Australia and get my degree at the University of Western Sydney. I was wondering what the scene is like there..both trance/techno. And are there any opportunities available for techno dj's? It won't be for a year or so but i was just gathering some info on the scene. And i would be com'n their february to september or so, i was wondering what the weather is like during that duration.
Sydney has a reasonable techno scene, probably even more happening there than there is in the trance scene
There are nights every 2-3 weeks though.
September is the best time of year for Sydney weather, we have sunshine and 25-28 degrees C for pretty much the whole month No coincidence that the Olympics were held in September

Thanx
from Feb - till mid April the weather is pretty resonable. After that though we start getting into the colder months, nothing compared to Canada ofcourse, however still resonably cold.
Dont really follow the tech scene much, although there would definitely be a market in Sydney for you to exploit.

Basically it's like a trade college, where you go to learn to be a mechanic and stuff like that. Though they have computing courses too. It's more hands on than a university course, and there aren't any arts subjects like there are at university.
In September, a 20 degree day is cool, the average temp would be around 23-27 degrees. Nice and warm

I did TAFE for a couple of years, it's soooo cheap!
But you can only get a diploma not a degree.

A couple of christmasses ago, a close friend of mine flew back from Canada to Australia.
When he got on the plane there it was -40 something..... got to Australia and got out of the plane to find it push 40 in Sydney. Then he flew to QLD.
I can say he was very much looking forward to aircon when he got in the car!
