I would advise anybody who's thinking of moving to Australia for this contract to do your homework VERY thoroughly.
Australia is by no means the cheap country, it used to be. Property, day to day expenses and especially food are extremely expensive. You will have your hand in your pocket just to walk outside.
Within my group of friends are at least 2 couples that have had enough of feeling like they're being ripped off to live here and they're heading back to the UK.
Also, I'd add that I'm not trying to put anyone off. Personally, I think if we as a nation are dumb enough to elect a government that doesn't protect Australian jobs, we've only got ourselves to blame.
