Question to be or not to be...a flight instructor

I'm at the point in my training where I'm seriously considering going on to
commercial level and becoming an instructor. I have no desire to fly with
the airlines or even fly multi-engines, but I do have some experience with
teaching/training in other fields and of course, a passion for flying. It
might sound strange, but I prefer jumping in a C150 or C172 and just
'flying' rather than dreaming of controlling more complex aircraft.

Question is: what are my employment prospects likely to be if I end up with
a commercial licence and just an instructors rating? (no command instrument
rating etc). I have no desire to 'climb the ladder', I just want to teach
people a hobby that has become my passion.

My question relates to the Australian scene. All opinions most welcome.
Thanks,
