Auspilot, there's an ongoing belief in Oz and NZ that picking up a flying job in Europe is easy compared to doing the same in there. Look around the forums on PPRUNE and it should become evident to you that there are a heck of a lot of pilots in Europe and too few jobs. Low timers struggle here just as much as they do down your way. The main difference is that we don't have the outback jobs, so while an experienced pilot may have more opportunity in Europe a low timer may well have less, unless you instruct and even then don't assume that's a given.

One other thing, unless you speak the language of a particular European country 'Europe' will probably constrict down to UK, assuming you speak good English(!), especially for the low timer.

You've got to be in to win. Play, and good luck.
