Thanks Dolly

Based on what I am to be earn as a salary, and taking out my tax, Uk commitments and rent & utilities in OZ I will roughly have $60k for food and other living cost. Will that be enough for a family of 5 to live on ? Not sure about general living costs.
Thanks !!!

Ste

Hi Ste,

There's a sticky at the top of the forum page on the cost of living, have a look and see if there's anything there that'll be of any help.

I'm not sure how expensive (or not) it is living in QLD...but that's a reasonably good salary.

Ste74,

Good luck with the move. Please keep us informed as to the goings on - I am hoping to move to Mackay soon too. Who are you going to work for?

The sticky post that Dolly is referring to is right at the top of the Australian country forum called 'Cost of living'.

A quick way to get back to the Australian country forum (especially if you've arrived here through an email) is to click on the link at the top of this screen that says 'Australian Expat Forum for Expats Living in Australia'.

Regards,
Karen
