    Hi


    There is big growth in the industry out Roma way where you can either move to or choose to FIFO depending on who you work for and most of the companies out there do work the even time rosters. A truck license is pretty much a must (saying that some companies are willing to provide and/or subsidise some of the training to get one) and having forklift & front end loader ticket would work in his favour.
    That is where we are in Roma & we love it! the growth here atm is amazing....we thought it was big in WA but we have found since moving here many people we know have headed this way also!

    Erin - Small world I know a few people up there mainly through work - a lot of them are FIFO's. DH used to live & work out of Roma, but we are both FIFO out of Moomba. I still fly up once a month for a week for work and I make sure my week corresponds to when he's rostered on up there and will keep doing it till airline won't let me anymore
