Smile Bricklaying in perth? & how expensive is the weekly shop

Hello.my boyfriend is a little bit worried about the heat when he starts working as a bricklayer in perth this August.Hes just wondering if you do get used to it or if its rele unbearable?!Any bricklayers that can offer advice on survival will be very much appreciated.
Oh and also we just wanted to know on average how much the weekly shop would be for a family of 3- to see if its more, less or simular to the uk.

thankyou!

fillet steak every night or baked beans on toast.... its the length of string question again... M&S or Aldi?

There was a programme on the other day about a family of four surviving on $10 a day... growing their own... no one mentioned road kill

they weren't eating prime rump on a regular basis ...
