Guest Mark'n'Julie Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hi again Cal, Would also love a bit of a get together as we've been here since April and although i've got family here they're a funny old bunch and have only seen them a handful of times. they haven't even asked what we're doing for xmas and they only live 2 minutes away! What do thet say "You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family" (rant rant sorry) Anyway going to the beach xmas morning then bbq and big game of cricket in the arvo.. Ha Ha!!!!! Mark..

Guest kelly Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 hi mark and julie. my name is kelly and my husband,our two children and i are just at the beggining of applying. my husband is a carpenter and has his own business here, he dont really want the hassel of that in oz.is it worth while starting up on your own or just as finantially rewarding working for someone, ie the stress of it all. where is pacific pines and where are chippies needed most. we dont know where we want to go but im leaning towards queensland. would really apppreciate your advise. could you tell me the average wage for a good chippie out there. thanks for your time kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
