Saul.
Firstly
I know there are thousands of threads out there which relate to my predicement
YES there are, and YES they do relate to you almost exactly. Infact this topic was done just last week....twice.
Secondly:a question for you (and any other NZ CPL holder) does your Licence only rate you each aircraft individually? I would have thought it would say something like “S/E Aeroplanes <5700kg MTOW except requiring specific type or class endorsement” You well need a constant speed propeller, and probably a retractable undercarriage endorsement.
If you can get your hands on a C210 or C206 then I would recommend you do a couple of hours before you arrive.
Try looking at
AFAP they have the most up to date jobs.
Most of the large cattle stations (e.g. the ones with a pilot) can be found stretched across the top end WA, NT, QLD. And they aren’t located near any towns either (hence some of the reason for having a plane).
Luck
