Hi, We arrive in Brisbane on 1st Aug and hope to check Makay out in Sept so might be there at same time, we live down the road from you in Westhoughton, is work taking you there ?

 

Hi asmith15,
I have accepted a job in Sarina, visa application is in and meds are on monday (21st). Going to live in Mackay, preferrably Black's Beach or Shoal Point as it looks lovely. Whats your reasons for looking at Mackay, is it work or hols?

Ste, Lisa, Mel, Jess & Lydia

 

hi manxste,
it will be for work, my OH is an engineer by trade but fits kitchens at the moment so will be looking at a range of work as hes not sure what he wants to do (midlife crisis), we have heard thats where to head for engineering work, we will also visit townsville. Will have a look on the net at the areas you have mentioned.

 

I'm a Planning Engineer, and there is a lot of work there at the moment in mining and rail, Im going to work on a large rail project they have there and will be based on site. What kind of engineering does your OH do ?

Do you want Greenhalghs or Hollands pies ?:biggrin:

 

Hi Annette,

Sounds to me like your OH won't have any problems getting work, loads of rail work on the East coast I believe. My OH cant believe how many people are going to Oz from the North West - I think everyone has had enough.

Ste

 

I agree, every person ive made calls too to cancel bills ect have said they wish they could go as they have had enough of it over here, they've all said how lucky we are and they are right - we are glad to be leaving all these problems behind us, lets hope for a brighter future in oz

 

hi from taylors

:smile:G,day do you work at royal preston in fulwood as we lived just accross the road.
If you are a nurse why come over on a 457visa why not get a permanant visa from day one then you dont need to apply for pr and you dont have any restrictions.
I now the 457 is faster but if I was you I'd go for pr.
all the best the taylor family coomera.:laugh:

 

We got our 457 Visas this morning !!!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
