Not sure about us as in the older arbs but my lass is older than we and a nurse/midwife and she can take us all over no problem bud.

 

Is your lass qualified in something like this ?

[kitnskye]

She's actually in the process of doing an ODP degree (working in surgery) so maybe that would be best?

Have a look on konnecting mate under tree surgeon / arborist. They might be able to help you

Possibly bud👍 just waiting for ours to start and finish her MA lol. All the best though.

 

Also contact some companies out there as i know some supply visa etc

[Peasgood]

Have you ever been there?

My partner got her working holiday visa while 31... You woul get it only for a year though. This being your 30th year ... Apply now!!! If your after a straight 457 visa ( temp long stay work visa) then you'll need a job offer. I've recently gone from working holiday visa to 457. (I'm 31) . Hope this helps?

You can extend a working holiday visa for another year though

Thanks for all the input guys. Really glad it sounds like it's never too late if you put your mind to it First things first better start looking for a job over there!

 

No I haven't been there and it's not very easy to pop over on a climbers wage when atm i'm supporting a student wife and 4 young kids. Can't just up and leave them all for a month while I go flying round the world. I have no doubts (we to be exact) that Oz is for me I hate the cold months here and the warm ones are getting shorter! Also I have my heating on 30 in my house all year round as I'm always cold!

 

Also don't mind living in the middle of nowhere as I already do here in Cornwall nearest town in nearly 10 miles from my house I love the seclusion keep yourself to yourself and you can't upset anyone ha ha.

 

Cheers guys better get updating my CV haven't done that in a awhile!

 

Oh and Merry Xmas to everyone
