Stormy Mate, Cairns is not the place at your level of experience. Most Cairns operators require 2,000 total and 500 multi and several CIR renewals. It is unlikely you will get into a multi under 1,000hrs aeronautical experience anywhere, although some may have an understanding ninsurance company that might let you lose with only 500 multi. You need to get to the tourist areas (WA/NT/SA/Qld Gulf Country) to get some scenic flying but the season is winding down with the wet approaching. Otherwise it's meat bombing at scores of places. It's a tough road, don't give up but your training school should have told you the truth about your actual prospects. Don't forget, you also need a DG awareness certificate for charter ops, pax or freight. Somehow you've got to get your hours up to the 500 mark before anyone can take you seriously. Mind you, in the UK you expect to get a right seat with your experience and quals, but that's the JAR world for you. You will get to where you want, you just have to work out which roads take you there and there are no shortcuts. The same comments to some degree apply also to Darwin, but 1,000 and 100 multi might see you get started there. In the meantime there are a few boy-burners just waiting for you to fly for next to nothing in some remote places.
