Going to work in w.a second half of this year.

Probably one of the most simple bits of advice I was given while living on the east coast was "Come to Kununurra, you won't starve!)

I can only speak for KNX, but from what I hear the entire west coast is pretty much the same, ther is all sorts of work everywhere. I even know a concreter in KNX who is flat out.......not sure if he wants toput anyone on though!

The construction industry is pretty busy up here, along with mining, farming, tourism etc. Being a single bloke I'd say you would be mad not to come over, the place has been very good for me.

Cheers andrew

Plenty of work everywhere ...
Perth still has a building boom and tradesmen are in high demand
You will not have a problem anywhere in WA
though the mining pays best .. if you want to make 100K+ easy go
to the mines ....
have fun

According to an ABC show a few weeks ago, rental accomodation is very expensive and hard to find up in the North West.

Just something to keep in might.

Ring Peter Miller , Port Hedland 08 91733766 and he could probably have a job waiting for you . You would need to tow a caravan , and the park you want in Port Hedland is the Cook Point Caravan Park .

I think it might be a good idea to take my caravan . From my place half an hour above brisbane i think it is about 5000km to port hedland? Wonder if anyone has towed a caravan on that trip and how long it took.Cant wait to give the new rv landcruiser ute a run.

The SWMBO and I are working our way around oz and are currently living and working in Perth.The rental market is fairly tight here as it is all over the country,but with references we managed to find a suitable place within 2 hrs.
I got work driving semis with one phone call (Pays better than in Melb. and the equipment is all brand new) and the other half got a 6 month contract doing bookkeeping within a few days.She went for an interview, but started work straight away instead.

My brother is working in port headland and he said its going mental over there I actualy just good back from a holiday over I can almost gaurantee you a job if you go talk a mob called goodline in port headland cheers sam.

Hi Turbo

I am in Karratha (250km from Hedland) there is a boom happening here that will last at least three years. Over $7000 000 000 worth of projects under way. You could score a job (have a choice of 10) in five minutes. Accommodation is the key. Accommodation is the key. worth saying twice! you have two choices rent a house at $800 a week or bring your van and wait for a permanent spot in one of the . parks. i know of people who have had to stay in the next town (60km) because they couldn't get a place in town for months and that is either a house(at less than $800) or van. Most mining jobs will pay you around $300 a week living allowance on top of the $1500-$2000 per week take home pay. If you share a house with a couple of others the rent is zero........ that is what is pushing the rents thru the roof. mind you, 13hr shifts 13 day fortnight - you earn every cent.

Port hedland is in a similar spot at the moment Billions of dollars in projects and not enough workers. I know Peter Miller and you won't go wrong with him.

if you want a list of names in Karratha where you could walk into a job send me an email and i will gladly help....... hell i'll give you a job myself. We are in the Industrial hardware supply business and i need 3 more staff immediately- but we can't compete with the money on offer "on site". Catch 22 - business is booming because of construction - but we can't get workers because the town in booming!
