hey vduben, so you've moved over to oz. i spent 2 years climbing in oz and another year in nz. preferred oz for work(but was more experienced by the time i got there) and the money's better. i personally reckon your better staying south for the summer then move north for the winter, stay freelance if you can, apply for an ABN(australian business number) once your visa's come through. i have contacts all up the coast. if your going to brisbane, i worked for a company in byron(hour and a half south) called tallow tree services, got some very good gear, 18" bandit with winch and was talking off buying a small crane when i left. pays $30 an hour (freelance) $35 an hour if you get insurance. also have a few contacts in melbourne(still my favourite spot). one or two in townsville and the ones i had in cairns are liquidated. a friend of mine manages a company in melbourne and says work is drying up, i was talking to him only two weeks ago. so i'm not sure if you'll have as much luck as i did. a good website for work is http://www.arborage.com.au. goodluck it's an adventure
