People are morons, the vast majority are and I know you've heard this before and it is tiring. Nature has allowed supreme intelligence in the sea of retardation and that will never mix good.

I don't know about Australia but in the USA for good money and you can find work everywhere is electrician, welder , or plumber . And here if you want to live in the real woods Your Bush or outback here you better have some protection (Firearm pistol / Rifle ) for Bears bobcats and a few other Critters.
