you need to contact an agent, it may be that you need to retrain in a required field, if you want it badly enough, there's usually a way

brickies are on MODL but not labourers, you don't need to have formal qualifications but do need detailed references to prove that you do the complete role for the required length of time

Hi

Landscape gardner is on the list as a 60 point occupation. You would need your skills assessed by the TRA. There may also be other related occupations that you may be able to go for. The full list of occupations is here: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf

Speak to a migration agent, most offer a free initial consultation. You will then get precise advice on what you need to be able to supply to apply to emmigrate over here

Hey, if you want something bad enough it will happen! If youre willing to do anything you'll find work easy. Once your here you'll be fine. It's getting here thats the battle. Good luck! jen

A migration agent will always tell you that you have a chance to migrate even if you don't because they want your money! It's better/cheaper to do the paper work yourself.

They are bound by MARA rules (assuming they are registered) so therefore can only take you on if they are confident you will get a visa. If they take you on and you've no chance then they are risking their career.
