Thanks for your quick replies!

I would be returning to QLD. Even as a QLD trained teacher I had few prospects the last time I was there in 2004. I offered from the outset that I was willing to go anywhere in QLD and they told me they had enough trouble placing the graduates so could I ring back in a few months time. Lucky I had money to live off then. This time I would want to be close to family in Brisbane as I am not footloose and fancy free like then, as I have my son now.
It is a relief though to think that if the worse came to the worse I would have access to some money to help get set up. I still need to see if I can make a go of it here but at least I know I can always go home!
