Hi mate,

I live in Perth and have done for nearly three years now so can answer pretty much anything.

If you have any specifics let me know cause there's a lot to tell.

Lived there for 4 months like you on a Visa
Place is friendly and there is a good vibe there, even if it is somewhaqt back in time.
The Hurlers have a good club out there with training every tuesday and a game on sundays.
On the QS front, I'm not sure if it will be that easy to get a job. Get in contact with agencies before you leave if possibe
best of luck in Perth

Back 3 months from Perth where I spent 10 months, brilliant place went there not expecting a lot and left with a real desire to return. I found the people laid back and the Irish less frantic than say Bondi Junction.

I worked in construction during my time, when I left work was still available. I have mates there who have had to take labouring jobs to get a foothole before getting qs work. Blackadder is who I worked for there a small recruitment company with a strong Irish workforce,then there's the big one Hays recruitment you can send them your cv and they'll be in touch.

Get youself to the Irish bars Rosie's in Nothbridge and JB O Rileys in Leederville to get yourself sorted for the GAA you'll definately meet lads there who'll point you in the right direction. I played for the western shamrocks who recently won the championship unfortunately I had to leave before the finals.Ask for for wiggy in Rosie's,he's a little pocket rocket from cavan infact you'll definately hear him before you see him:D...good luck

Definately apply to Hay's Recruiment and check all the job seekers sites. jobsjobsjobs.com.au, seek.com.au, etc.
Google job sites and I'm sure you'll come up with something.
