What trade are you???
I'm a sparky - I'm looking to go into the mining industry when I get over (short term to earn a bit of cash)
From what I've been led to beleive you will have to get a load of safety quals before you will get in.
Mining jobs are a plenty here, and its good money too...Im sure the missus wouldnt mind u going away for weeks on end to the far off places hunting for gold n stuff:).. I know its a different kind of mining but Paul has just started work on the Brissy Tunnel, home every night, apart from night shift..Money is fab but you will have to have your licences..Paul was a tunneller in England in between the building trade and so has all of his...Mind you, Have to say with all his licences he is more qualified than the aussies..He says they are still taking on people but like I said its licence licence licence all the way here:) Jo x
Heaps of mining jobs going in WA, I think it's 3 or 4 weeks on and one week off, they pay your fare home and back each roster, a friend of a friend of mine here in NSW works over there and comes home once a month, wages are around $1,000 a week or more with board and lodgings thrown in, he works in the tool store for a contract company, it may be 12 hour shifts though, not sure.
Many work for a couple of years and buy homes around Perth & retire early, there are also coal mining jobs going in Queensland too, but you need qualifications for those jobs.
Are the licences hard to get? and do you have to pay for them yourself? and how long will it be till the tunnel is completed? My wife and i are moving to brizzy at the end of March 08.Sorry for all the questions, Just getting close now and wev got no jobs yet!
cheers for that, hours no prob used to 12/14 a day here in the uk. Like the idea of coal mining in brizzy as movin there in march 08, Would they fly me out from brizzy though?

Hi Paul has used his licences from England so if you have them, bring them..He didn't need any aussie ones.. I can pm you the company number if ya want and give them a ring...The tunnel only just started in December and its gonna be around 3 years work..

It's only the iron ore mines in WA that pay your flight home, the coal industry only give you a job and a little house, these mining towns are at least 2 to 3 hours drive from the coast.
Blackwater & Emerald are in the coalmining belt.
