Consider Australia?

I'm 54 and am slowly thinking about retirement. I have this crazy idea that it would be a great life to instruct in gliders in the US during the northern hemisphere soaring season and in Australia during the southern hemisphere's soaring season. Yes, there is a point to this...

I've googled this a few times and always come across pages on emigration to and/or working in Australia. I find flight instructor listed as a shortage career field with the indication that it's easy to get a work permit.

Might be a great experience. Closer to the Phillipines, still an English-speaking country.

Hit Google and see what you can find, mate!
