Answer 1

Work wise for sure the large mining companies around the Bowen area have to use skilled migrant labour for trade positions he could pick which job to do on excellent money .

Bowen is a great place which hasn't lost its character and soul in the boom up north some call it "sleepy" I reckon its relaxed great place for a family.

Answer 3

Bowen is a nice town and is at the northern end of the Bowen Basin with its huge coal reserves. There should be plenty of work for your husband at the coal mines and in related industries.
