G'day Mark. I just saw that you are in Rocky. I spent 10 years there, studying then working for CQU, Heights College and out at the mines in Blackwater for BHP Mitsubishi Alliance. I lived in Glenmore next to the tavern then moved to Frenchville for a few years before moving to Norway with my Norwegian wife.The last year of my apprenticeship, 1968, paid A$64.00 a fortnight. Married, and a bub. A$44.00 a fortnight rent. I was in the Navy, RAN. Ship was in refit for 4 months, I earnt, A$120.00 per fortnight, cleaning, 4 hours, 5 nights, A$3.00 per hour.
Go for it, and Best of Luck.
