  1. West australia based , i'd be interested in helping
  2. Have you tried searching on seek.com.au?
  3. 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?
  4. Is the checking of relevant qualifications only part of the process? Was under the impression that more was involved?
  5. White/blue card would be a good idea. Where are you heading in oz? Am a team leader just south of perth. If I can be of any help , let me know Oli
  6. Try contacting the tree guild of WA

  8. "If the rope stretches, it acts as an energy absorber, thus easing the loading on both the load and the anchor point" yes it does ease it , but not enough to justify its use. Having never personally tried using rock climbing rope for anything other than its intended purpose i can only comment using information put across by tutors at college from a few years ago.
  9. is was lead to beleive it has to do with shock loading anchor point, dynamic rope (rock climbing rope) is designed to stretch as a fall takes place, if it were used in a tree and a fall ocoured the chance of failure at the anchor point is greatly increased?
  10. any dates/ locations been thought of? would be interested in meeting up for a fun climb
  11. if you can afford it the ten week course will give you a much better base of knowledge, as you'll not only have relevant tickets but also hopefully understand more about what/ why your doing things. Having said that a one week course will mean that in a far shorter time period your back in the work place, providing you can find it.

    Climbing Kit

    and blow the beer budget? lol
  13. was using one today... only thing i can fault it on is the lack of power, great for light work but not much good when it comes to taking down anything substantial ie dismantaling an oak, save the extra cash and get a stihl, later on when you have the spare cash maybe think about getting an echo as a back up / alternative for lighter more delicate work
  14. what you do when the lead inside is broken? lol
  15. while sacking him clearly gets rid of him as a problem, am wondering why none of the other staff noticed wht had happened ? Not suggesting they should have grassed him up but... could they have told him to stop being a knob and then tell him to clear it up asap?
  16. i use one on a regular basis but only for thinning/pruning work, anything of any substance ie oak... has to have a more powerfull saw.
  17. I've only ever used Stihl top handled saws , what are your opinions on the other options on the market? got a favourite?
  18. hi, I've recently returned from travelling the globe and am looking for work in or around guildford/ southeast. I have a full CV available as well as references. Feel free to pm me on here if you feel you may be able to help cheers oli
