Not too many flying jobs in NZ, unfortunately. I'm one of the Kiwi pilots johnwells refers to. If there were sufficient jobs in NZ, i wouldn't be in Aus.
The jobs in QT will most likely go to pilots who have plenty of mountain flying experience, which is difficult to come by in Aus. You are much better off staying in Darwin. Queenstown is nice, sure, but also a bit overrated. The climate in NZ sucks, as does the pay - a big issue considering that QT is a tourist hotspot, and everything is priced accordingly.
