Mince,
Interesting user name. I agree with what Growller and TL , have to say. Also give Darwin ago, you may not have the intitial requirements, but some companies will atleast give you the time of day. If you show your face, establish contacts, you never know. Ofcourse now the wet season is starting, it may be tuff ,but you are a head of the crowd for the Dry Tourist Season. Now when you get to Darwin town, and nothing happens in the first week, dont be put off, stick with it and something will come up.
You must be prepared to work maybe in a hangar to start, and show good work ethics to start, this is usually a test from your employer, to see if you have what it takes.
Requirements before you head on your quest:
1. Dangerous Goods Certificate
2. Do you have a MECIR? if not with your hrs could get one later.
3. Make sure you know how to navigate. That is without a GPS and using DR.
4. Start using a HF, and be familiar on its use..
5. You will probabaly need a car.
6. You may need to get on the JAM ROLE, dole unless you pick up some work, depends on the individual.
Darwin is generally the Centre, for picking up work in the Top End, alot of the Companies have bush bases in Arhnemland etc.
The" Tute "used to be the watering hole. but I think its changed, more people frequent "Rourkes", and "Lizards "etc now.
Hope this gives some ideas anyway. HA may add more to it unless he's gone Christmas Shopping!!!!
Merry Xmas to all
SHEEP
