Best of luck to your hubby. When are you hoping to relocate?

Thanks! it all depends on whether he gets a job offer and whether we think it's right for us.If it is,it would be a few months before we relocate.

In the mid 80,s on construction of the LNG plant wages were take home $1000 per week but probably have not changed much since then.If he is working for Woodside they should give him a house as the rent can be $500-800 per week.A friend (sparky) works on process utilities on a 14 day on 14 day off basis from Perth and is on $7000 per 4 week period ,but he is employed on a casual basis so no holiday pay, sick leave etc.Karratha can be a bit isolated ,and very hot(52C).the cool nights (28C) you will need a jumper as the body adjusts to the high temps.Good luck.

Cash sounds great, but you will earn every cent. The Pilbara is a hard place to live, no question. Check the visa too. Are you going to be stuck there for 5 years?.
For the sake of your own sanity you must check it out before committing.

Think- Do you think they would be recruiting in the UK if they could employ people from Oz?. What the people from Oz know that you don't?
