fourcorners Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 We can't help feeling like we're doing this just in time. But we're also very lucky in that we are both in the mining industry (gold in particular), both have jobs sorted and are just waiting on our 457 visas to come through. But I will be slightly nervous until we get our PR visas which hopefully won't take too long. The mining industry can be so fickle which is why we've gone for gold producers not nickel - at least if all world markets continue to go belly-up at least gold prices will get even stronger. I noticed they went to nearly $1800 today. When I last worked in Oz it just had gone over $1000 and we couldn't believe it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
