Hi guys, sorry to pester you but i have posted a small note in the wasteland section regarding my plans to move to australia and seeing as it looks like i will be staying at a pad owned by my partners in-laws, i thought i wuld drop you all a note in the area. Not a sponger, just til i find my feet then move into my own place with the better half.

I am looking for contacts in the comms world or any agencies you could suggest. I currently work for Shell IT on the oil rigs and gas plants in Scotland looking after all aspects of comms from data/voice to marine radio, LOS and at comms along with PA systems etc. I have also built a radio and tv station in Bosnia when i was serving with the Royal signals.

Dont expect anyone here to offer me a job however if anyone has any info regarding contacts etc i would be most appreciative. Christ, i will even pull cables just to get my foot in the oor or work in an IT support dept or something!! :(

Thanking you in advance for any help plus hopefully meet up with some of you in the not too distant future as i wont be taking the cr with me..........but will certainly buy in Australia if everything goes to plan :D :D

it jobs are somewhat hard to get hold of in aus i believe

seems everyone goes through school and uni wanting to work in IT and then theres too many people for the number of jobs,

ur experience would help you greatly id say.

there are a couple of job search sites for employment in aust that you could try

ill get the links and post em in here when i find em, they are writtin down round here somewhere.

any help appreciated. As i said, i really dont want to work on the `IT` side and would prefer hands on telecomms in a maintenance or installation role.

No, not taking the 32, its just not financially feasable or possible, hoping to pick up a new car once i`m setled.

Yes, not interested in programming.

Installs, commisioning , maintenance, anything to get my hands dirty although i can configure routers,mux and PABX. Beggers cant be choosers i know but no point in being stuck in an office as netwrok tech when i would have no intensions of staying , if you know what i mean.

Will speak with the missus and get back to you. What have you in mind, a project you are involved with or something?? Cat5 /fibre , no problem .etc etc.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
