thats it woody, i have a company house mate.

Agree, the rents average from $1500-$2500 per week it is a rip off.
I had a few mates sharing a 4 bedroom house they were out constructon pulling 200k a year so the 350 each a week rent they were paying didnt worry them too much in a share house

bunk in college style with as many people as you can humanly stand to live with, get company supplied (camp) / company subsidised housing.

You could always buy a caravan and live in the caravan park as well - plenty of people do that. Although I'd go nuts personally.

I know we have 20+ rentals in Karratha at the moment which are shared with some employees and PM's etc get there own.

Costs currently i think we pay between 1500 - 2200 a week.
