Was in a bubble, it's not looking too hot now with current iron ore prices. $40k is staggeringly crap pay for a chef; minimum wage for a full time job in Australia is about $34k ($17.29/hr minimum wage). Average salary is somewhere north of $70k and that's roughly what my brother in law earns as a full time chef.
