Thanks for the advice everyone, will change our search options, I find it harder to research qld than sa! My husb can turn his hand to anything but doesn't have an actual trade, he has a white card and aus fork lift ticket but still struggling!

Anyone moved from adelaide to qld?

Not really sure, haven't been to WA for about 15 years!! I don't wanna slag it off here as I know some people love it, but for us its just not right, I know work is a major factor with this but we also get a bit (dare I say??? bored!!) Not looking for arguments from anyone here!! that is purely our opinion!! we did validate our visa here and liked what we saw, but we were only here a week as we stayed with family up in Brisbane! But I def know how the original poster feels!! Where are you?

South Aus!!

We have been living in Adelaide since April but for us things have just not worked out, it is mainly the job front but a few other things have also factored into this. So we have decided to try and move states, this may or may not be the answer but we cant carry on the way things are going for us. I love the sound of Hervey Bay but through research felt as tho sunshine coast may be a better option as you could (if you had to) commute to Brisbane for work? However I have also joined the sister site to this and have been advised hervey bay may the better option as there appears to be more work? I was just wondering if anyone could let me know what they think. My husb has no particular skill but has obtained white card, fork lift and tag and testing since being in oz - he really is trying everything!! I am expecting baby number 3 in jan so wont be able to work for at least 6 mths realistically. we already have two boys 5 and 3. So schools are important and day care/kindy type places? Any advise would be greatly welcomed, I know work and employment is hard to find anywhere in Oz at the moment so I know this wont necessarily be the right move, but it wont be any worse to what's happened so far!

Hi all interesting reading this thread! We have been here since April and my husb hasn't managed to secure a job in all that time. I actually found out I was pregnant after being here for 2 weeks and I would have been the biggest earner. We are not happy where we live at all and last week was a real low for us! We have decided we want to try and move states, this will be a last chance for us then back to the uk. I cant say im not happy here but really don't feel happy either!! Tough call, my 5 year old son is the best settled out of all of us! Good luck with everything! Keep positive!
