Could someone tell me where the vacancies are likely to be with Queensland Ambulance Service once successful. I know quite a few UK Paramedics are already out there.I know you can specify your preference with no guarantees. are you likely to be posted far north and north regions?
As much info as possible would be appreciated.

And what's wrong with the northern regions, I'm of to Townsville in 3 weeks. Short boat ride to the Great Barrier Reef, lovely rain forests, fantastic hiking trails. Australia's largest free falling waterfall.

I think everyone lately has received a posting close to what they wanted. Gold&Sunshine Coasts etc seem to be the most popular requests, so there may not be so many vacancies available around these regions.
I maybe wrong thou

Townsville is somewhere I have been looking at. just wondered if its not too isolated and has everything to hand. I have too heard it called brownsville

There is a Brownsville in NSW, No idea as to why Townsville may be called "Brownsville". Brownsville = S@~tsville? Someone put me out of my misery and explain

I BELIEVE ITS CALLED BROWNSVILLE BECAUSE VERY DUSTY AND NOT VERY LUSH GREEN AREAS.CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG

' Dusty ' is probably going a bit too far.

Cairns resident's call it Brownsville because that's how it looks coming from the lush green of Cairns.
