Hi pebbles,
I would think there was plenty of work for your husband, the rate that buildings are being thrown up around the place! You may have to move to a main centre to find the work, but there should be plenty of it.
As we tell people moving to NZ, when you move country you should give it at least a year before you feel settled. 5 months is a short time in the grand scheme of things, so think about why you moved to Aus in the first place, and see whether those reasons still apply. Shifting back home so soon could see you less content than you already are, and wanting to go back to Aus again. All of which is hard on the finances!
Anyway, just my thoughts, welcome to the forum
