Wish I had a crystal ball....
we've found a rental in Redlynch, just a townhouse but it's all new and never been lived in and handy for the kids school, will be moving this weekend. Hopefully in the next six months we'll have our PR visa and be in a better position to buy.

Liz here..congrats on the rental in redlynch. Sounds great. I like the look of Redlynch. How far from CBD is it? Just wondering if affordable to get a taxi back there after a night out! Keep us updated.

Quick update on the interview with CEC last night :
Applied for a job with CEC on Sunday night......Monday got an email saying someone from Human Resources wanted to do a phone interview on Tuesday night
Then had another email saying the interview would now be 2 people, someone from human resources and the construction manager!!
1am this morning the phone rings.....a secretary then connects to the interview room and the interview is done on loud speaker.
They seemed really impressed with hubby's 13 years experience.......and the interview lasted an hour!!!
They told hubby he is classed as a 'Project Engineer' and should he be offered a job it would consist of : salary (to be confirmed), super (pension), laptop, mobile phone and a car (with tax and ins paid)
plus paid holidays.
They are now contacting hubby's references and will be speaking to the operations manager as to where a position is available in the company for him........all sounds very good!!!!
He may even be working on the Cairns airport job!!!!
They have a department which will offer us assistance in finding us a rental when we arrive too.
They also mentioned they could see hubby working his way up to be a 'Project Manager' within a short time with the Company.
They sounded very keen to get hubby working with them.
So.......looks like we are coming to Cairns
BTW.....watched WDU yesterday......and it actually made me feel much more positive about going there......didn't put me off at all!!!
Anyway.......should hear something by the end of this week for def.......so keep everything crosed for us please!!!

We live at the top end 20 minutes from CBD (15k) which in turn equates to $30-35 taxi fare after midnight.
