Wardy, have you checked out these ?

Besides being a recruitment agency they have their own workshops.
I think one is at Stratford and another somewhere down on the port area.

Part of their thing is contract demolition work dismantling large mining operations and things on FIFO contract work.

So are we completely signed sealed and delivered Karen ?

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Thanks for that will take a look

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Oh well, if it puts a few people off then there's just more room for the rest of us!
Sadly it's not the crocs and stingers that kill people it's more likely toddlers drowning in swimming pools or young drivers in too fast cars :(.
Right about the houses tho.......really bl**dy expensive at the moment :thumbdown:

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

It looks great feeling definately more positive about work opportunities for hubby. It certainly takes the pressure off.

Looks like the sort of stuff he works on here.

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

I am at your service madame :D

I even left a special message for your family but think you missed it.

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Oh that's brilliant thanks Bix.....Andrew was going to read up on them before the interview tonight....LOL
An agency forwarded his CV to them......so now he has to learn about the company quick!!! :eek:
What's the time difference between Cairns and UK? They are ringing at 11am their time.

Unfortunately though I dont think thats unique to Cairns I know people who are struggling all along Queensland to find something in their price range I hear the Gold Coast is extortionate.

I'll be happy with a not so large house compared to what we have now we have a good size 3 bed but no garden as long as it has a garden i'll be happy :thumbsup:

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

that will be about 1am your time :)

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Ha ha ha.......I'll be fast asleep then.....while hubby waits for the phone to ring :lol:
Didn't realise there is 14 hours time difference :eek:

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Yes, we've decided not to buy just know and watch the market and see what happens over the next six months or so...my own theory is that there just aren't many big money earners in Cairns to support house prices being much higher than they are now. Most people have regular jobs in goods, services, trades etc...certainly not earning mega bucks so I'm hoping the prices have reached a plateau and if interest rates go up again we might even see some drops..........she hopes!

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

What message

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Sounds stupid I know but it is possible to pick up body language over the phone.

Therefore tell him to take the call whilst standing up as we are more attentive when standing.

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

It's ten hours, maybe I've had too much wine and got it wrong! yeah sorry it would be 9pm

:o
