Many years ago I packed my belongings into my trusty Camry and drove to Darwin just after the new year. I had 1000hours and no Cessna high wing time. All instructing in PA28s. Had never seen a wet season.. Did the rounds, got a job in a petrol station and then got a phone call for some casual work with a very good Darwin operator (who still exists today). The rest is history. No perfect time. Just get up there and get stuck in.
