Sparks required in Mackay
A work colleague just returned from a visit to Mackay, Queensland. Jobs for sparks were been advertised at $130k per annum. Seems to be a shortage up there and plenty of constuction work going on. Obviously do your own research before making a decision but it might be worth a look.

Mackay itself is a shit hole.......surrounding areas a little better...yes there r plenty jobs there but the housing is expensive..........and it is not only very touristy but is a huge industrial area
