Guest heieup Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I can't find any labs or textile labs in geelong in the yellow pages. But the only way to find out really is to get out here. there is a big hospital in geelong so your wife should find a job fairly easily I would think. I believe there is a bit more textile stuff inland so looking round Ballarat, and south west of geelong might bring stuff up. the local paper is the geelongadvertiser (has a web page) which is probably the best place to look for jobs in this area. Otherwise you need to get out here and go to agencies, jobs round here aren't always direct advertised on the web like they seem to be in Melbourne.

Guest Buzz Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 are there any textile manufacturing factories by any chance??? i heard there was a carpet factory but i dont no if it has gone bust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yes, Brintons the carpet manufacturer in East Geelong is closing (I believe). To the OP: I wouldn't limit yourself to Geelong. Consider also the area around Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) as a number of manufacturers are in that area. The commute from Geelong to Tullamarine is about an hour and 10 minutes assuming no hold ups on the Western Ring Road. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dwa33 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi there, the area is renowned for wool processing and distribution, carpet making etc, is that the kind of thing you mean by textiles? In fact we have the national wool museum in Geelong, which is excellent, that could be worth a phone call? Good luck. Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treesea Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Godfrey Hirst and Brintons are both based in Geelong. They make carpets. Have you considered somewhere like the CSIRO? They are a research organisation, but have a division of textile and fibre technology which could probably point you in the right direction. Rip Curl, which makes surf wear, are based in Geelong.
