If you are prepared to live in a desert or FIFO and have any qualifications that would help get you into mining, that is the way to go - the money is massive and there is, apparently, a real skills shortage.
Before applying for work in regional Australia, ie Roma & Toowoomba, take a critical look into where those jobs are. This might be an obvious thing to say, but Australia is a massive country and our remote areas are VERY remote (I live about 1600 miles from my state capital and 200 miles from the next substantial town/city) and can be pretty basic in terms of infrastructure and things to do. Plus, the Roma/Toowoomba area are rather prone to natural disaster.
The subject of the cost of living here is relevant to the global economic situation. Australia is more expensive to live in than it was, but the figures re: the UK are skewed by a very strong AUS$ and a weak GBP. Plus, the cost of housing appears expensive when compared to an area like Grimsby, but not when compared to many other parts of the UK. As an example, I recently saw an advertisement for new built homes close to Brisbane for GBP200,000 which might buy a lot in Grimsby wouldn't in necessarily in a big UK city.

I have been here for 9 years and lived in NZ for 8 years before that. I have seen the costs increase but they are in line with wages generally. Always exceptions to the rule. The jobs being discussed are most likely mining related in the regional areas so they do carry more salary $130kAUD for diesel mechanic for example. But the cost of rent or houses in those areas goes up too.

Cost of Living usually pans out IE, in Uk we are paying £1.40 a litre for petro, What is it in Oz - $1.50ish? In Islington N. London, you will pay close to £300k for a studio flat. That will buy a lot more in Brisbane, even more in Cairns, and half a street in Burnley or Hartlepool. Mining always starts the boom in Oz, and FIFO jobs always pay a premium. Does Toowoomba have any worse natural disasters than Newcastle (NSW) or Darwin had? It can also get pretty manky wether wise her - massive floods in UK at any time of the year. At least in Cairns you know it will only pour with rain between Xmas and Easter I lived in both Cairns and brisbane, and the lifestyle in the far north is by far the best.
