hi just let you know that the construction industry is on its arse over here in the uk, with carpenters been paid 10-13 a hour and that's for sub contracting so I would think twice about coming here and landing a decent job, I predict it will be 5-8 years before construction industry picks up properly cheers lee

hi just a quick question that's been pickling my brain, when we move to Perth and like after 12months we decide we can't settle. can we move to Sydney as we have family there ? cheers lee
-
Hi my advice would be to rent it if you can, taking alot of money would be a good idea, plus people are crying out to rent these days as it's harder to get on the housing market, and if things go **** up in aus u are still on the housing ladder, try taking just enough funds to set up in wa and start earning the dollar hope this helps Lee

Hi everyone. Me the wife and little girl are heading out to Perth at Xmas to activate our visas. I have been put in a dilemma, I have been offered contract carpentry work for 12 months in Afghanistan, the money would be a life changing amount but I wonder if it will really be worth it? The money would really set us up in Perth when we headed out the in 18 months time. I would appreciate some extra views on this as I can't decide what's best. I forgot to mention it will be in a American army base in Kabul Many thanks Lee

Thanks everyone for your replys, me and my family plan to move in with the in-laws and rent our property out. But I think there house would be over crowded with us all there. Another reason why I think I should go is because of this double dip recession everyone keeps talking about! No jobs equals no money for Australia. And thanks baz any info would be much appreciated Again, thank you everyone Lee

Hi baz, is this something you have experience in? My mates out there at the moment as an electrician so he has got my foot in the door if you know what I mean Cheers lee

Hi Judith, I would miss my family more that words can describe but the money would set us up in Australia and make our lives easier, the working conditions are 3 months on 3 weeks off.

Hi We are moving to Perth in about 12 months and were just about to put our house on the market, but with the current exchange rate been so bad we are considering renting it part furnished, we have equity which we needed to move but hopefully can save about £10000-12000, would this be enough cash to get set up, it just seems pointless bringing a load of money with us with such a poor rate. I think we just need to start earning the Aussie dollar and then hopefully everything should be cushty, anyway any advice is much appreciated Thanks Lee

hi me, vicky and darci will be moving out in a couple of years but are activating our visas at christmas, we are heading to perth. Really looking forward to the move but the current exchange rate is holding us back for a couple of years, hopefully it will start to recover soon

Hi there, you have nothing to worry about, I am a carpenter and broke my arm resulting it been pinned, sounds like the same break, we had our visas granted last after getting referred for 3 weeks Cheers Lee
