Oz summer jobs

Hey folks,

Looking at being in oz somewhere with a dry (-ish) summer this year. Just looking for friendly suggestions on any possible casual/part time/full time VFR gigs. Not decided on where yet so if anyone knows of anything in/near the main centres OR any out of the way places/operators that may require a summer driver, please let me know.

Wheels, floats or both!

By summer I will have approx 1400-1500TT
200-300 turbine
1100-1200 float
VFR only

Before the haters start hating: Yes, I am doing my own research and this is part of it.

Thanks guys, please PM

Sydney Seaplanes were having a grizzle in the media a while back about not being able to get pilots. Try there! Should fit right in with your hours.

Apparently there are no float drivers with the right to work in Oz according to the mob in Sydney. Try there.

Ps there are heaps of floats drivers, wait till you see the offer

Sydney for a part time gig? most will go in rent and travel time.


Go island based and save more and live more - even being paid less.

If you're looking for work in winter (northern dry season) then try horizontal waterfalls and get paid proper contract rates.
