Serengeti,
If you would like to know the story about changing an Australian licence to a JAR one then search my name in "Wanabes" and "Dunnunda and Godzone". I can assure you right now that if you don't have time on turbines before you turn up then it's a long hard struggle to get a job.
I've done the bush flying in Oz as well plus flown a few turboprops too. The competition is very fierce for any turbine job here and untill recently there was a lot of jet experienced guys out of work.
Also, check out the
LASORS Section G. That will spell out exactly what is required.
