Hi The Gores,

Only place that would sponsor for fast track visa mate, given my skills. Meet up would be good

just sent you a PM back hope to hear from you soon

dont worry too much when you get there after a while you will be able to move if you want to but take what you can if they are giving it out as it will start & is starting to get harder & harder to get in

all the best

Don't go to Melbourne either, can't make its mind up with the weather. Been on the Gold coast for 2yrs originally from Mansfield area. Great weather all year round, love it!

Hi, i'm from Shirebrook, hence u can see why i love it here so much! Seriously i love the weather, the lifestyle, my job is a lot better than what i had, quality of life, opportunity.
Housing is considerably more than what i was used to in Shirebrook, but weighing it up
u get more. I live 5 mins from the broadwater, 10 mins from surfers, 1 hr from Brisbane.
I'm a chippie,have been working all thru the recession, went back to work 4th jan. never did that in England, be lucky to get work in Jan. Not too sure what the schools are like in regard to teaching, as i have no kids, but i work on a lot of them in the Logan area and some of the public schools here are shocking. Nothing like manor, in fact, even shirebrook comp makes them look good. Plus they still used asbestos until 1992 here, until they finally got rid of it so some of the schools are full of it. I sometimes have to work with/ remove it so i know this for a fact. There are some decent newer ones, but not nearly as many as the old ones that should have been knocked down years ago!
Hope i've answered a few questions, if there's anything else i can help u with, ask!
