How to find a tradesperson?

OK so we have a shortage of tradies in this country, but this is getting rediculous..

I have been trying to find a bricky for the last 2 months, to get some work done on a retaining wall at our place in the hills of Perth. I've tried everything from tradequotes.com.au to yellowpages to local paper to word of mouth.... The best I have is one person that was keen but never got back to me and another which is not so keen but coming out to see the job on this weekend anyway. I've rung about 30 people.

The work needed is not a small job and not a huge job, I'd think well worth their time (small jobs I can understand would just be fiddly). I need at least 3 quotes, it's a boundary wall ...

Quite frustrating that what seems to be such a simple service is so hard to find a supplier. Meanwhile our retaining well keeps ever so slowly tilting on a lean
