Hi Kelv & Mark
Thanks for your quick replays. Things sound promising for my job search when i arrive! I suppose its the same as any where if your good at your trade then the chances are you will find work.
Thanks again Adam

Hi Adam,

I'm a brickie going to Adelaide mid March. Gonna be staying in the south (Christies Beach for starters), people I've spoken to say there's plenty of work. May be good to meet up when you get out there.

Hi sorry to hijack the post but I was just wondering roughly how much a bricklayer can earn as i have heard all kinds of figures. Im hoping to be out there by mid 2011 and will be looking for work then but it would help to have an idea about wages.

Thanks, Clive:)

Hi Clive'
Well from what i have found out from pia and other sites the averge is between $30 to $35 per hr but i must say thats only what i've read online. Hopefully one of the members who are in Adelaide can answer this for you. Might be worth starting a new thread
All the best Adam

Have heard rumours of a dollar a brick being paid :)

Whats it like for jobs out there at the moment and do you enjoy it more than the UK

Cheers, Clive
