clememtd, I live in Perth, and work for Caterpillar dealer.
Looks like you have received a good response to your original question.
If your into anything a mining Company can use, your in.
Huge shortage this side of Country with the mining boom.
If your not into mining gear, and want to stay local, plenty of work anyway, mining has soaked up most available, locals are always looking.
Ship building Industry in Southern suburbs of Perth, Major electrical utilities chasing people, list is endless.
As one other put it, if you want warm climate, all year round Queensland is the preferred spot, other than here.

Check out sea temperature surface (1 meter depth) tab on the side of the graph screen, will give you an idea on what’s cold and what’s not this time of the year.
Just in case, any of your mates who are heavy duty diesel mechanics, or auto electricians who have exposure to mining equipment bring them as well, we can bloody well use them right now.
