Dry Season 2010
Good advice from Marko regarding the HR.
You will be required to drive the tourist bus for the Bungles pickups before the flights. You used to need an F or T endorsement on a WA licence also. I had a T (regional taxi) licence however I don't think it's required anymore as the bus is not for hire or reward but a complimentary pickup for the flights. Most of the buses you can drive on a standard D/L as they are 12 seaters however one of Alligators buses did require a HR when I was there.

That's for flying around 7-800 hours a year......the joys of working in second world countries.......thankfully the wage is 'survivable' here but i'm still going backwards slowly so it's time to move on.

Only reason I suggest the T class endorsement for your licence is that during the downtimes you can find work with the local taxi companies. They are always looking for driver.
HR isn't HARD to get. $17.80 for the Learner Permit and a few driving lessons and you're sweet.
HC covers all licences below it (ie HR, MR, LR).

I can't remember the exact rules for HR but for HC in SA it's logbook based and will cost upwards of $2k

WA matey. NT has even more 'laxed testing.
Also. Goblin, the T class you have covers the F class also (which is the bus licence). It's easier to get the T class endorsement than it is for the F class suprise suprise

From the amount of guys who have pm'd me over the last six or so months, to put simply........****loads 
The biggest hurdle will be the guys from last season will not have moved on so they may all be coming back.
I would expect though to see moderate movement next year if the dribs and drabs of guys leaving right now are any indication from the regionals to jets.
