Yes there are 1 or 2 lurking about. To be fair they are not as bad as you might think, I was a bit sceptical about them before I went but it definitely changed my opinion. I had some greater banter with most aussies I met

Yes your right, basic living expenses are higher but so are wages.

I concur with Wcroz, Aussie is full of opportunities. I had a landscaping business in Sydney and always had plenty of work. I tried to stay but couldnt due to lack of qualifications. I also had a job working on the construction of road tunnel from kings cross to darling harbour. Got paid more than could spend, came back with more than I went out with. Couldnt live there forever though, Blightey is home and always will be

I have had mixed reports
seems certain places are better than others
I have a cousin and an auntie in sydney and they love it
but my mate who is out in brisbane building says the paperwork,permits and insurances to work legit are unbelievable
you need a permit to do anything basically
obviously worth a go,if you are up for a bit of travel
good luck
