There's just not enough Aussies to fill the job vacancies. The good thing about illegals doing the work that Australians can't do is that when the business cycle turns and Australia goes into a recession and jobs become scarce the illegal workers will leave and go to another country which is booming and work there. Rather than stay in Australia and take jobs from locals, or worse - pick up the dole. |

During our February trip to WA, getting a doctor was a snap, but a haircut? No way! :-) Plumbers? We didn't even *try* when our airconditioner flooded our campervan! :-) Bricklayers? Don't know. Didn't need them. :-) |

The reply was always the same when I went to a workshop "Bring it back next week can ya mate" As you'd expect, I just did the work myself on the side of the road. |

Our experience was a little better, but indeed most of the time they are fully booked and, understandably, reluctant to drop scheduled work to help a 'stranded' tourist. In our experience, some understanding both ways goes a long way, literally! :-) |

No matter where you go in the world you'll come across idiots. Shades of the Griswolds. My experience in 1997 when I wandered the coast from Rockhampton to the SA Yorke Peninsula and inland as far as Broken Hill and Lightning Ridge was the opposite. When I broke a spring in Howard, a tiny town north of Maryborough (Qld), the local mechanic worked for several hours to remove it (home-built van, not by me:-), the spring works in Maryborough made up a new one - and a spare, the RACV paid for my night in a motel, and the Howard mechanic installed the new spring the next morning. Spring costs (including spare) - $40, labour $70. When the other spring broke in Narrabri - similar service there, on the spot. In fact, I never had the sort of problems you mention. When the car brakes failed near Port Wakefield, the local mechanic cheerfully did emergency repairs - without charge - so that we could get to Adelaide safely for a full overhaul. We had many similar stories over an 8 month trip. My mum has been wandering around in a solo motorhome for a few years now - and also has never been stranded like that. I'd worry if she was - she's 80yo. I think she's somewhere near Bundaberg at the moment. Cheers, Alan, Australia |
