I can't really speak about Brisbane since the last thing I
wanted when I arrived here was more work, but from what I've
seen in the larger capitals, it sounds as though you've just
found some of the less attractive jobs.  My experience is that,
provided you are actually good and not just imagining it, good
work is readily available in all major cities (and some minor
ones).  It's easiest found by networking, but agencies and head
hunters also work (although I do wish the Foxboro head hunters
would stop offering me work there).
