I moved here on May 8th, started applying for jobs on the 10th and got a job interview and job offer on that same day. Doing the same type of job i had at home, which is mechanical and electrical engineering of high voltage switchboards.

Came over on a WHV and now am in the proceedings of being sponsored by my company.

If you are serious about moving here for a year, you can find a job easily.

If you can operate big gear like that, you'll be a shoe-in in the mining industry. Perth ftw.

Mackay is tropical rainforest by the Great Barrier Reef, not exactly desert.

I stand corrected, but its still very hot and not much around there. MAte who lives up there has to drive 2hours to wrk and back each day and does 10-12 hours doing electrical mine work during. SO the money is very nice, but the work conditions will be fairly horrible.
