kenny01 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hey! Must say that this has proved to be a fantastic site for information. Basically i have been offered a FIFO job as a diesel mechanic in perth. As you can imagine im hugely interested but would appreciate any experience/advice from anyone in the same boat. Ill be bringing me girlfriend and 14 month old over as soon as. Just mainly concerned about cost of living. i should be on a pretty decent starting wage, but everything seems so damn expensive! Beginning to think ill be better off in the UK on my current wage (about national average) than on aus wage (a fair bit above national average) Any advice appreciated!! And if theres any friendly folks out there in perth area would like to hear fromn you. thankyou in advance shane.:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
