Best of luck, maturity and commitment goes a long way with most operators. I'd just be careful you've mentioned a couple of times 'for a year or so' operators don't want to hear you are only in for it for a year.

Your best bet would be trying to score a basing one Darwin, Katherine or Gove in the NT.
Agree with this, most of the Arnhem land operators will put you up in company provided housing with other pilots, unless you can score a single pilot base not practical for a partner/families. Although black listed for numerous other reasons Black Diamond in Gove in the past has assisted with company housing for families, I believe Air Arnhem also Gove based has helped with housing for families, although I think the CP might have moved on now.
