Re: Australia is too bloody far away....from everything

I'll take any work really. I'm also qualified in computerized accounts and bookkeeping so that's something else. I'd happily do labouring on building sites if needs be.

I didn't think 'stuff...

She won't go. "It's too far away and what if summat happens to my family?" Tough luck if it does. One of them things. Plus, she can't just jack her job in. I'm self-employed so I can.

Re: Anyone from Sheffield/Yorkshire?

Lifelong dream. The 'finest city in all the world' tag is something we say amongst ourselves. Parts of it resemble downtown Baghdad.

Re: Australia is too bloody far away....from everything

Looking at flights for March (mid to late). I'm back at work Monday, I need a few good paydays and I should be alright.

Got a few quid to last me a month or so. That would give me time to find...

Re: Australia is too bloody far away....from everything

I mix with a heck of a lot of different people. All range from 18-80. Manual workers and professionals. The richer folk tend to be a bit more carefree but that's to be expected. But even they have...

Re: Young Guy looking to move to Australia

Ay up.

I'm aiming for late March. It gives me just a few more paydays to save up a few more quid that's all.

I'm a bricklayer so I'd prefer that. But general labouring would do for me. Just...

Hi Chris.

Re: Ease of finding work

Mate has just come back from Melbourne and said he was paying our equivalent of £7 a time. That's where I've got my figure from. If they're wrong they're wrong. No biggie.

Ease of finding work

Long time since I last posted. I've put my WHV plans on hold while I save some funds but I'm still having a look now and again.

This is the option I'm leaning towards. But would my option of permanent residency still be available (in the future)? I don't want to jeopardise any future plans at all. I know a WHV allows me to do...
