hey guys,
What would you guys do if you worked a FIFO role (3 weeks on 1 week off) in a country (Australia) that you are fairly new to and therefore don't have a good social circle built up? Where would you live for that one week? What kind of accommodation would you get? In other words how would you optimize your life?

Fly out to SEA instead of back to Aus. Network professionally on site, then build a small harem in a foreign land. With the scratch from that schedule, you'll be absolutely fucking balling non stop for your entire week off

I was at some point working in Karratha, WA and some people there were working 2 weeks in a mine and then flew to Bali or other places in Indonesia for 2 weeks which is quite close by. Since in North WA the salarys are quite high (Mcdonalds pays like 25 dollars an hour I think) its quite good life working 2 weeks and then spending 2 weeks somewhere in SEA.

Usually it means First in First out, i.e in accounting and logistics etc. But in this case it means Fly in Fly out, case where you fly to a remote location to work for some time and then fly back home or wherever and repeat.

Not if you have to rent in Karratha.
Rents are like $1,000 per week minimum (during a boom)
A tent space is $250 per week.
As notified above, if you can fly somewhere cheap it is pretty good.
