    Default Working in Oz

    Hi 2 all in Oz

    I am currently looking at getting into tiling and only doing it at weekends at the moment, and will hopefully start full time when more work comes my way. I am working as a site labourer during the week to bump up my wage.

    I am thinking of coming traveling round Oz just before crimbo on a 12 month working visa, and wondering if it would be possible to work as a labourer for any tilers whilst out there.

    Any info is highly greatful
    Thanks all
    Carl

    (I like the idea of being licenced - would certainly help over here.)
