Many thanks for all taking the time to respond. You've all given me something to think about. I think we're all guilty at some point of thinking the grass is greener. :-) x

Warmer climate, a country that isn't governed by Brussels, a country that doesn't allow terrorists to walk the streets, a country that does not allow the free movement of people from other countries that have nothing to offer... I could go on and on.

Thanks for your help

Good idea, thanks for your response srg73

Err from the media!

So there's a lack of work in Adelaide? Oh dear, so far I don't see any positives. We were told that there is a massive shortage.

Hi thanks for your response. We currently live in Dewsbury, just outside Leeds. There is lots of bricklaying work here but the place is very depressing. It's not the same place as immigration as totally changed it. (yes I get the irony that I would then be a migrant lol) I spent 14 months in Australia but that was 15 years ago Are you glad you moved back home then?

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. My partner and I are considering making the move to Oz with our two children. He is an experienced bricklayer with 25 yrs experience and has nvq3. He currently earns around £1000 per week but we want a better life for our children. We were thinking of Perth but can anyone help, Is there work in Perth? Any idea of wages? Where in place would anyone recommend for a family to live. We like the quiet life now and we are in to our health and fitness. We're open to other cities so does anyone have any recent experience of bricklaying in Sydney, adelaide or Brisbane? Many thanks
