Im coming to Oz, near Noosa QLD, on the 25th October for two week holiday with family, after that looking for work to stay on. I have my migration visa in place. Have been in plumbing and heating for last 25 years, New build and referb. due to move over to Oz in Nov 2009, but I mainly work in new build but alas this has now all but stopped in the UK due to credit crunch, and nobody is spending money on referbs so looking to stay on after family holiday. If anyone Needs a new employee or knows someone who might it would be a great help. Will move to anywhere in Brissie area. Well actually anywhere in Oz really, as long as not to far from beach,LOL.

One of my taps is leaking.

Seriously mate if your a half decent tradesman youll have no worries picking up work,then the prblem will be getting time off to get in the water.

Sunshine Coast is still booming with loads of work for tradies. The local plumbing store Sales Rep is the best guy to ask when you get here. I know in my job as a paint Rep I spend half my time finding tradesmen for my builders.

Let me know when you get here and I'll give you some phone numbers of local builders with heaps of work on.

You could always set up yourself as a professional kite-bitch!!

Nick go to WA they are screaming for trades and WA has the best wind in OZ.Most of the trades in the city have gone to the mines so Perth needs all the tradies it can get.

I have mates that work in the mines good money they might work 2 weeks straight and get a week off , average pay is anything from 2500.00 to 4000.00 bucks a week , I know where I would be if I were you.

You might even score a plumbing job on a mine near the coast , Geraldton is where I would be going, awesome wind and plenty of work and a great coast line.Good luck.
