if you have experience on boats I can possibly hook you up a traineeship - $670/wk while you study and for the first 12wks on the job, then it goes up to $998/wk while you complete the rest of your time (24wks). All up it takes about 2yrs and then you're on $120k/yr
or as Brian says, if you're willing to get in and get dirty there are always jobs as labourers, forklift drivers etc - I could probably get you a spot at a freight depot as well if you preferred something local instead of fly-in/fly-out with the bub and all. Or I have a mate with a suspension shop looking for a storeman, and another mate looking for a parts interpreter at Precision International.......
Those are all in W.A. haha and only the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Due to the resources boom, everyone is working in the North of the state on mines, or like me, offshore in the oil & gas sector. As a result all of the spots we used to fill locally are all vacant and we actually need as many people as we can get to fill them

Makes me want to move to WA.
Cant forget about the great beaches all throughout Australia. Definitely some of the best ones in the world I think.

What sort of help are you talking about? Unfortunately with my roster I can't do much than offer anything really more than what I already have, and that's limited to WA as I don't have many contacts over East. Possibly the only other thing I might be able to point you towards is someone who works at a furniture/household goods warehouse to help furnishing a place, or Classifieds by Quokka Online is a good one to get free/cheap 2nd hand items.
Jump onto SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site for an idea of what sort of jobs are regularly advertised. Keep in mind though, our cost of living is pretty high... $1.60+/L fuel, your trucks will be around $500/yr to register (each), plus getting everything here etc etc, it won't be a cheap exercise :S plus is it best for your wife and kids as far as family goes? I know that if we had a newborn, my missus wouldn't want to be too far away from her mum for support...
