Hey I'm new to all this but I am going to oz in may for a year ! I've been searching online etx . I have lost lots of weight and still got a bit to go and one of my goals to reach my target was to travel . I still have 3 stone to go till I am happy with my weight . I'm abut scared because I've heard that a lot of Aussies are very up themselves. Can curvier people go on gap years ? X

No more up themselves than elsewhere and less than many places.
We are also some of the fattest in the world, so you'll fit right in.

You might get a better response if you put it in the right branch. Try the "Australia & NZ" branch. Careful, though, they don't like fatties.

Speak for yourself, Lefty.

Sorry. Some people like fatties. ;-p

Oh well I may not be the skinniest person alive but I'm not the biggest . I do have a personality so if people don't like it then they know where to go :)! Roll on ozzzzz :)! X

The weight will fall off even faster if you avoid carbs
