2 Years In Australia, Lets Talk..

[@Coolwow437]

Hey buddy have you thought about North Queensland cairns and Townsville it’s cheap heaps of jobs up there

[@jmama721-n7x]

Nice video fella, I moved to Sydney from the UK 5 weeks ago and still trying to find my feet. Worked as a PM in the construction industry in the UK and still trying to find a job out here!

[@barnowl.]

People in the construction industry are badly needed in Australia as we have a housing crises due to big immigration numbers and other reasons. You may want to consider living in other areas of the country to get work and live. Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world in which to live.

[@theunfamiliarroute]

You will get there! Would you do a foreman’s role to begin with ?

[@barnowl.]

Why choose a very popular and one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in ? Go to the provincial cities or country towns ! Nurses are needed everywhere. Make sure that your bus has a shade cover over it and air-conditioning otherwise you will roast in Australia's hot summers. You can stay in caravan parks permanently, with a bus, and more cheaply in country towns away from the popular coast. Australia is having a housing crises at present due to big immigration numbers and other reasons. Everyone seems to want to live in the big cities where populations have greatly increased and therefore housing is limited. From an Aussie whose parents and older siblings emigrated from the UK after WW2 with only an allowable one hundred pounds, two small pieces of furniture and a trunk of personal possessions, including clothing. That was hard living ! -- especially with mum being pregnant with me as well !

@@barnowl. love your comment and you are correct! I agree moving it an expensive city is not always wise! And maybe we would do it differently! I love what you said about bus living! And the nursing part! We are heading to more rural areas in time to escape these high rents!!! Love the story about your family as well!

[@barnowl.]

Thanks for your lovely response. I have learnt to think 'outside the box' ie from a different perspective as it helps in decision-making. Australia is a wonderful country to live in and we Aussies are a different people to those from the UK and you will be moulded by that. We have a different mind-set, attitudes, values and way of living. The four children of our parents are thankful that they, mainly our mother, decided to emigrate. Our parents were the only ones in the extended family to do so. All of us have visited and some have worked in the UK but it is Australia that we love. We are now three generations of 22 so far from our parents and live in the four eastern states of Oz. Some of us live in the cities and some in the countryside. We've had good lives, good education, professional qualifications and own our homes and properties. Good luck with your new life in Oz.

How long did it take to find the insurance job after the back injury and did the employer require any experience?

[@theunfamiliarroute]

Didn’t require a lot of experience it was more showing I was capable by landing an interview. In total i had 3 interviews. I got the job several months after my accident

[@JohnEdwardBerry]

Ive been here for 41 years, lets talk.....

[@theunfamiliarroute]

Long talk

[@JohnEdwardBerry]

@@theunfamiliarroute Ive never been back to England, I couldnt see the point, I left Thatcher's Britain, England gave me nothing but the UB40, Australia has given me a life, good luck to you, your wife, its good to see you brought your pup over with you, i will never understand people who could leave their pets behind.

The estimated downfall of an empire is 250 years.. America got her independence in 1776.. 2026, a new Empire emerges?

[@overworlder]

America wasn’t an empire until 1945. So there’s 175 years to go. 😂 Anyway, there's a difference between democracies and dictatorships - dictatorships don't last long. The USSR didn't make it to its 75th birthday. The CCP dictatorship is right at that ominous date. Dictatorship can't manage change, and the only way to bring it about is by overthrowing the regime. Democracies last 100s of years - Dutch parliament is 445 years old, the British parliament 320 years, the US congress 240 years. even the Australian parliament 123 years.

[@RoryBennett-s1v]

Takes ages to level out, perseverance….

[@theunfamiliarroute]

100% right
