Big Duke
Both WA and NZare great spots. Very different, but very liveable in their own way.
Gets a bit colder in NZ and a fair bit hotter here.
Vet science courses can be a bit hard to get into out here.high demand and only a few spots.
High demand here for any technical trade, especially in the mechanical areas.
The WA mines need something like 30,000 additional employees that just dont exist locally.
NZ might not have the strong economy but it does have one huge advantage.
And I mean huge.........you can own and shoot a Bren, Sten ......pretty much whatever takes your fancy. And their cheap.
