Townsville, Mackay or Rockhampton
#1
![Question](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi everyone,
i have posted already on here asking about Townsville, but i am struggling to find suitable work there.
So i am now in search of different areas on the Queensland coast that are reasonably priced areas to live, where i can also find work. Maybe Mackay or Rockhampton but i still haven't given up on Townsville.
I am an engineer (manual miller & CNC machinist)
If anybody knows anything that can help or give info that would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Tony

I live on the coast(Yeppoon) which is 30km from Rockhampton, we love it here in Yeppoon, Rocky is a bit too big for us, but thats where we go for the big shops and hubby works there. We are building a 4 bedroom house at the moment costing us in the region of $325K thats for house and land, renting a 4 bed house at the mo for $260 a week......give u an idea of costs here....Rockhampton is cheaper.
If you want...send me a copy of ur cv and I will see if there are many jobs in ur field. Do you have any mining experience? loads of those kinda jobs here.
If you have any questions about the area give me a shout
