I’m a humble carpenter, astonished by your continent’s beauty. my dream is to come to australia and build homes for ozzies. would anybody be able to tell me the condition of the high end housing market? My wife and I are both open intellectual types only asking about Oz as a place to come to and be welcomed. America has gone to shite. We would welcome advice on emigration, ….rambling now….mostly wishing advice on reception of 40ish couple in a strange land from the American Midwest {not fat and bloated} with at least one degree between us. Australia….you seem a temptress and a mystery…I wish some comment from your American friend.

Matt, I’m also an American, originally from Ohio (Summit County). I came to live in Sydney in 1996, have been here ever since.

Sorry, but your timing could not be worse. Migration numbers have just been cut, with building trades skilled migration cut to zero, due to our own unemployment problems in the housing industry.
