Thanks for all the advice - I guess that's what I was thinking, I just needed to hear it from others who had been there themselves. I'm heading off to Tasmania next week to check out the situation down there, visit a mate, and dish out some resumes, although I understand that this isn't the best time of year to head down that way. Seconding Giddy's question, does anybody know why low timer's don't head that way. Are there no low time jobs like scenic work? Having down some research and made some phone calls it doesn't look that bad.
