Hey pal...the only way to build hours over here is flight instructing until you have 1200 hours. You wont get useful flying any other way. I'd suggest get some charter in oz first before you come over. You need 1200 hours before you can fly charter over here. plus it'll cost you a lot of $ to convert. Something you can consider anyway. Easy to get work instructing though. check out the thread below this one...aussie needs info
