You'll find Bricklaying work in Perth not easily but things are much better than say back earlier this year.

Mining work on/off won't happen on a WHV. Even during the boom these jobs weren't as easy to get as people thought you usually had to know someone. If you are able to secure another perminent visa then Mining jobs will become possible.

PS Where is this 4 on 4 off job? the best I ever got was 3 on 1 off

Cheers
