pdj, there are quite a few manufacturing companies around the Port Kembla & surrounding area, but not quite sure if there are any jobs going, have you tried the Centrelink website or Illawarra mercury [local paper] best days to look are Thurs, Fri & Sat.
Mt Druitt is known as a rough area, ?????????????????????????????????

I would rather live in Port Kembla than that place to be honest.
