Well im young and considering quitting my job in England to do a sailing course on the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland. Is Australia good? Has it been affected by recession? Also if i went there and decided to go back to my trade (electrical/electronics) Is there any way of someone young getting a job and settling in without a family?

I have lived her all my life so it is what I know but I also know it is something special. A lot of english people come out here to live and most are happy but a lot have problems adjusting to the life as it is so different from Europe. You need to be very aware that is substantially different though very similar in a lot of ways and distance from Europe does make you feel isolated from the rest of the world. but it is home and I love it

Great place down under- good weather. The Whitsundays is gorgeous and a relaxing/peaceful place to live in.

Australia is great to live. I'm not totally sure, our government is pretty lame, but they tell us we didn't go into recession. Its very laid back here. I have a friend fro England who lives here now and she says the weather is better, and even the dodgy places here are safer then the good parts of her village. You might suffer a bit if you're in the Whitsunday's from the heat. Good days are 35 C in summer. But you'll get used to that. Trade jobs are always in high demand here, especially if you have experience, so you shouldn't find it to hard to get a job here if you go back to being an electrician. And its easy to make friends, especially up north, with all the backpackers and people going out a lot. Its a very easy place to live and make friends.

Australia is looking for good trades people and you not have any job problems at this time . Food is affordable fuel is up prospects are good for dedicated workers rents are a bit up but coming down ~~

Australia is less affected by the recession than most places, and if you are a electrician, and interested in settling in Queensland, there's plenty of work to be had as they rebuild following the floods. But the visa on which you come to do a sailing course will undoubtedly not allow you to work. I doubt that you can decide you like Queensland and just settle down. You can talk to a migration agent but the likelihood is that you will have to leave Australia and apply for the visa you want from outside Australia. If you are young, and have a qualification in a trade that is in high demand, your chances are pretty good, but it will still take some months.
