Nice rant for your first post CBR1.

VB is recruiting for domestic CC in SYD atm the wage is ok by Aus standards and isnt anywhere near as exciting as the previous poster made out.
V Australia is also recruiting for a SYD base and there is some conjecture about what they are actually paying but it is believed to be low in comparison.
VA have a SYD base but if you have a Aussie passport the above two would be a lot better than just doing SYD-HKG-SYD.
