Good day to all,
spot the new boy.

I'm a qualified British arborist with 7 years experience under my harness. Im looking to hit OZ in a few months, what is the best forum to use to try and find me some work?

Thanks all.

I'd say jump onto Yellow Pages online (www.sensis.com.au) and email companies.

Put ya stuff up at ???????? too, are your papers in order to be legit?

hi ekka,

Ive already used my work visa for OZ so my only option really is sponsorship. Ive gathered all the info needed by the TRA for 'skilled migration visa' but i want to make sure OZ is the place i want to live before i get in that far.

So in answer to your question, yes, everything is together and up to date. I have all references, certificates and i fit the citerea.

The only thing that sucks here is housing afforability.

Do your homework where you'd want to live and then chase employers.

Australias alright, but I honestly cant say it's the best place on the planet when you look at housing, it's just gone nuts in the last 5 years. But a working couple might do OK still.

Yeh, i worked with a dude in sydney for around 7 months. He upped sticks and moved to adelaide for that reason. And the fact that the drought killed a ton of trees which made every gardener buy a chainsaw.

I love sydney because there is a lot going on. Perth would be my second choice, whats the arb scene like over there?

Theres plenty going on here in Melbourne, Victoria. Also know as one of the worlds most livable cities. Lots of trees. If you think you might come here., Shoot me your details. If i dont need anyone at the time i know enough others that are screaming out for good climbers.

Cheers Trev,
sounds good to me. Can you send me your e-mail address in a pm please?

I had a good mate that worked for a big firm in melbourne for a few months. Hey really enjoyed it.
I spent a couple of days there but never had time to get a feel for it. What temperature is it down there at the moment?
