Spend a few dollars on some C206 and C210 time (you dont need too much) and then with the change get yourself a car (if you dont have one) and then apck it up with everything you have a move to the areas that have jobs.....
Fuel is expensive these days, so from melbourne you will be looking at spending around $500 to get up there.
Best of luck mate, there is light at the end of the tunnel if you work at it!
