So im planning on heading up north for a job

Ive already worked 2 seasons in Canada, done the old sleepn in the car n working like a dog for peanuts trick. Dont have a problem with it, i love being out in the country and doing some real flying. I was getting paid 1500 a month with board, working from 4am to 8pm with no days off, what can i expect in Oz? Min wage out there is 15 or so i hear, so it's exciting to think that i may actually make some money doing what i have done in canada.
Ill be landing in a few weeks and then saving money for the trip. Ive read a lot of posts here but any further tid bits of info would be greatly appreciated. I have no dreams of getting into zoom-tubes (airlines), id much prefer getting into ag flying, but i know it's about 20k for the ticket and several more years of hard graft before you can even get a look in..
Furthermore ill be in Perth, maybe i can get a job spotting sharks???

Anyways thx for any help
