Hi VH-MVL.
I think the best thing is to go to bankstown and go door knocking with C.V in hand. I belive there is work out there if you look, try the pilotshop and there was an advert for awhile ago from the mob theat operate the DC3.
Failling that how casual you what work?? There are usually jobs going at Sydney. (Check in, baggage handlers etc)
Hope that points you in right direction.
TOJP.
