Heaps of work, I struggle to get tradesman sometimes.

Buying would be better than renting and you will find it alot cheaper than over there in Sydney.

Sorry to hear you have to return to Reading (UK). That's where we are living, and we can't wait to get out to Perth!

There does appear to be no shortage of work for 'trades' here in Perth.
My husband is a painter and decorator and he is flat out.
Hope it works out for you
