No ticket no job. But youngsters only have to pay for the courses to get tickets and qualifications. Thats why you get these highly qualififed but no ability youngsters on the good paying jobs. Plus its so difficult to sack rubbish here. Sounds like UK but more sunshine lol
 
Nice one Orac,be in Perth on the 22nd think it's something we have to do mate.and they're not lying about the 80mph winds here mate.lookin forward to getting down under and enjoying some proper weather and graft.
 
I think many more will be heading out over the next couple of years,and good luck to anyone who goes,the lifestyle looks great,and the job just seems to get harder by the year here:noworry:
 
I cant see why you would wanna stay in Britain if you had the chance to go away?
I love this country... its my home. But it aint half a f.ucking shiit hole now.


I proper jealous tbh, wish i was in Oz. :)

I'm on a fifo at the moment 9 day shut down at Olympic dam mine, works just same as any industrial work in UK, hot though it's 36C today & there are some stupid oz rules for scaffolding, but hey ho I'll be flying back Wednesday morning at 8.30am & touch down in Adelaide at 10am & probably go down to aldinga beach & have a few cold beers :)
 
Sounds like you made the right move Orac, all the best to you and good luck.
