This.
Cairns produces 1 or 2 CPLs a year, some years zero. These people are at the front of the queue for any job in the region. Tropics trained is also another plus. They are basically given jobs, they don’t need to go searching, the solid training in this neck of the woods is hard to beat and many connections across operators exist.
If I was doing it again it would be Cairns first, Perth then Darwin. Sally and team in Cairns is hard to beat. It’s not about them being good, you will walk away with better decision making skills and confidence.
Don’t waste your time down South.
