Knauf Drywall guy has gone out to Perth this year as business development manager for Knauf Australia..... he will know where there is work for good guys - let me know if you want his E Mail address.
He says it is very busy on the west coast!
Research the visa's, get sponsored if you can!
If you have no ties and want to work hard - Go for it!!!

I have toured Victoria and NSW. Beautiful Country, not a rat race like here. I wouldn't say there is plenty of money out there but there again you don't need as much as you do here. Cars last 20 years +, cheaper fuel and even cheaper lpg. You dont need heating as such but air conditioning is expensive to install and run. And it'd hot, very hot!
Properties going on 2008 prices was £100k for a victorian bungalow which was a lot for a first time buyer but and up market property would be £150k. So not a big difference from the low to the high.
Would I live there? No. Mainly because of the heat. If I could find work indoors then maybe but not outdoors. Now New Zealand is in my opinion a better climate but poorer than than Australia. NZ is greener, and at most 30c but I was there in high summer and it was 25c average. Hardly ever a frost either.
I spoke to youths in Australia and they are bored shitless. They dreamed of coming here to get a life. There is nothing for them to do in the smaller towns.
I didn't see much brickwork either, more timber frame than anything. The property ladder was being shown over there and started a home improvement frenzy but mainly new kitchens, bathrooms and re-cladding the outside. Nothing like the scale we have here. You hardly see a builders van around.
So I suggest you take a holiday there first in January and see what you are letting yourself in for.

hi bud
a friend of mine is just preparing to emigrate to perth WA for the 4 time. he says it does unsettle you as when in oz you keep thinking about the best of uk and when here you keep thinking about the best of oz.
he only wanted to work a couple of days a week, so he started a building maintence business it took off and he finished up working 7 days a week in that heat.

good luck bud keep us all posted, maybe we will all join you and start a price war lol...just like the UK but hotter :RpS_thumbsup:
Brother in law emigrated 5 yrs ago to WA Perth, worked in construction and made good money to start with, now, the cost of living has sky rocketed and he's forced to work the mines, working away 3-4 wks at a time. He would go back to construction but wages aren't up to scratch anymore apparently.
Great if you're single, but he's married with three young kids, working 8 hrs flight from home. Some of the accommodation is shite apparently, no air con, 70's style fit out, and towels in front of the doors and cling film over the bog at night to stop the wildlife!!
