Just joined the site and have a few questions and it be great to get a few I'm 23 year old Glaswegian, work as bricklayer n have my Svq. I have decided to get a years working/traveling visa for oz. Going to go down under oct/nov before the the Scottish winter kicks in:no: lol. Just havnt decided where yet. Was thinking sydney or Melbourne been told it's a cooler climate lol even tho it will still be toasting. Where would be better work wise? Also wondering if aussie way of bricklaying is alot different? Any repleys would be great. P.s any info on where to get cheap flights and accommodation would be good to. Cheers Joe :wink:
ErynnRyan Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Hi my OH is a bricklayer and was over in Oz about 4 yrs ago on working holiday visa, he went to Melbourne says u can get hostels for about 15 bucks per night soem are pretty good, type in google australia and just write hostels in search bar (also area u wanna stay) wen in australia he says check gumtree australia for jobs, in Oz its all stretcher bond pretty basic no complicated stuff, most of the houses are timber framed so no insulation or anything like that. The Aussies dont build corners they use profiles, be expected to lay 500 bricks in an 8 hour shift!! Company in Melbourne called Celtic Bricklayers bosses name Harry Duffy (look him up might even get some work b4 u get over) Lol dont know what half the stuff ive just wrote means (stretcher bond etc) lol read ur post out and my OH told me what to write!!! But hope we have helped :biggrin: Erynn
