Mate just chill until late Jan, pack your bags and head for Kunnus, you won't have a problem getting a check/job if you have reasonable skills and sound airmanship.

If you get a famil flight on any 200 series Cessna before you head up, it would be worthwhile for your own confidence however company's don't require it, just consider it an added bonus.

In the downtime between now and then, get at least an initial multi with a PN68 endorsement as you will pick up some multi time doing bungles if you are high on the seniority list at some companys, I would though strongly advise you to get a MECIR if funds avail and those nasty ATPL subjects done before you even consider working as a CPL. Once you are working you will be having to much fun boozin' and working max hours to want to sit down and hit the books. If you do a MECIR, try and get a Baron/travelair endorsement along with a C310 before you head up. There are dozens of these machines in all the top end towns and will give you a good shoe in when the time comes to step onto a twin. Upgrades to PA31's 402's 404's etc are usually done in-house.

Good luck
