Calling all carpenters - where to work ?
I am still undecided as to where i should settle in Australia. I am a carpenter and was originally thinking of Perth, however all the other major cities are appealing too, particularly Brisbane. So can anyone tell me where the most work is for carpenters and what you think is a good hourly rate for sub contractors. I would love to go to Sydney but all that I read is that you need to be loaded to get on the property market out there. Your thoughts will help me greatly.
