Gladstone Gold Rush

Howdy all,

Was wondering if anyone on this forum has headed north to Gladstone, Surat Basin etc to join the gold rush.

I have a mate who has recently arrived in Gladstone and says they are desperately short of workers and talk of big $$$ on offer everywhere.

Would like to hear your story if you've headed north for the Gold Rush.

Many thanks

No Gold at Gladstone
Coal, Gas and Aluminium, but no Gold ;)

As for workers, you would have to be skilled in the appropriate trade.
 
A friend has just left his job in Brisbane and has headed up to Gladstone. He's an electrician and is on $4k a week apparently. Over double his wage here in Brissie..
 
Dont all jump in at once:)

I thought there would be loads of people on SS that may have headed up to Gladdy or Mackay etc etc. Seems not.

Thanks
Sling
