Hi There,

We are hoping to be Aus Jan feb next year. Visa granted Monday

Any plumbers out there with any info for my oh.....Just thought it would be nice to get an insight.....He is also a trained water mains layer/excavator driver ( Yes a plumber who digs his own jobs...rare in Manchester). Does any one know of any sites we can look at????

Anyone who can help, much appreciated!!!!!

Justine and Dave

Thanks for that....errrr happy days!!!!!!!

Dave really wants to work on the diggers....bless, hates plumbing needs to be outside back on the mains........We have some contacts with the Logan council and stuff......ah well lets stay positive...

i totally agree with the lets stay positive attitude
i`m just playing devils advocate and letting you see some negatives

licencing has and always will be a problem, i`m a sparkie and its pretty much the same for us lots of hoops hurdles n red tape

work your way through it dont become pissed off with it all as here is light at the end of the tunnel


regards steve
