Life on easy street is on a distinguished road
At the very least visit there for a week or so to see what you think

It is quite literally in the centre of Australia
Good place to visit but I would not want to live there.
I prefere the rainforests of Queenland.

Hi Wiccan

This is an old thread, but have you read the first post on this thread?

http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/nother...9-come-nt.html

Written by some people who moved to Alice Springs and love it there.

Cheers

Gill

HI again Wiccan

This thread is relevant to you as well:

Somebody doing the same work as Scott does asked about the pay in Perth. The reply he got in July 2007 was:

Quote:
I can't help with Perth but $40 per hr in Alice Springs and $60 per hr out of town is normal
STEVE
Here is the thread:

And again, Wiccan

Just read the whole thread even though it is now 3 years old. It sounds like, with the help of knowledgeable locals, you could have the most amazing weekends without it costing much at all:
