RE: DBA's salary range for Down Under

Hey you are all forgetting about Adelaide, the best city in Asutralia. The cost of living is a bit less than Melbourne & Sydney and the lifestyle is a lot less hectic.
Salaries for an Oracle DBA range from 60-80k for permanent and around $60-$70 per hour contract.

Cheers
