Re: Much Electrical Work North of Sydney???
It's a difficult one to answer really, as it's all down to the individual. I have no doubt whatsoever that with an Electrical Mechanic's license, there will be many opportunities afforded to you. The application process can be quite drawn-out, and if I had known how the system worked, there would have been lots of paperwork I would have submitted BEFORE I arrived, but hey, them's the breaks. When you get your certified copies of certificated and work evidence etc. I would highly recommend that you get a couple of additional copies, to save you the hassle of having them done out here.
As regards Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane... Considering the distance you will be travelling to get here, the distances between aren't all that far at all, and what's to stop you trying a few different places, and settling in the one you like best? -You may find you just get 'comfy' somewhere, and that's you settled. Work is never a problem if you're prepared to muck in and do whatever work it takes in the interim for you to establish yourself. Best of luck to you.

Can't help on the job front but have you considered the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie area?
This website www.stickybeek.com.au has a bit of information and some pics (don't get too excited theres not many!) and links to property, tourism and council websites etc.
There are a few of us in this area including the Hunter Valley.
My family and I love it here, close to shops, beach, lake, good schools and large hospital and a university and still only 2 hours to Sydney for days or weekends away. Anyway, Newcastle has been discussed before so you could do a search and see what comes up from the past.
Good luck deciding.
