My cousin is a sparkie in Adelaide and they are always in demand especially with all the new houses going up.

Wages tend to be lower than the UK but this depends who you work for. He used to work for the Australian equivalent of British Telecom and they didn't pay that well. About 50K Aussie dollars a year.

If you find a like minded person, it might even be worth setting up your own company as this would guarantee a higher wage.
