Asking in 3-4 different threads will get you the same answer.
There's no shortage of US takers for part135/91 gigs as they're using them as a means to get their mins for regionals.
Unless you have a bunch of 802 air tractor firebombing time or some other specialist niche flying that a client contract requires then forget about it.
Just build up your mins in Australia and then apply to one of the three regionals in the US that take E3's
By the way, any 802 air tractor guys that have the mins to be carded as a level 1 USFS contractor pilot are making anywhere from 150-250k usd in a busy 6-7 month US fire season. $500/day standing rates and$500/flying hour
