Just on this topic, I'm going to be heading north up the coast from Sydney in 2 weeks, looking for a first seaplane gig. I have 1000hrs and a new float rating, but haven't done the meet & greet before when looking for work, so I'm a little unsure about the best way to find work. I've found as many operators as I can between Rose Bay and Cape York, and I'm planning to pay them all a visit, but if anyone would like to post or PM any advice for me it would be enormously appreciated!
