Looking good at the moment. Here's a few tips;
Try North west like Kununnurra, Karratha,Port Hedland,
even Darwin you will probably get lucky with your experience. Ever thought about Africa? from what I hear there is a lot of work there, especially in twins. I suggest you get a ticket over here and have a look around. GOOD LUCK

WEST ----
I'll give you the best advice possible,
(1) Get multi engine traing approval, you can hold it on a Grade 3.
(2) Do your ATPL theory, useless with out it !
Good luck in your career
