We have a shack at Breona and access to a couple down the East Coast as well. We don't work full time anymore, I only work 20-25 hours a week split between three jobs as a contractor, so does the missus and that is all we need to keep ticking over. We did the hard yards between 1995 and 2008 when there was bulk work to be had around the country and are able to ease back now.
I have four family members FIFO Karattha and FNQ, one working in NSW and a couple in Africa, all intend to retire back here in the next few years. We are a family of mainly tradesmen.
It's a bit sad there is no money in the state at the moment.
