Robin, I had no idea you had positions in melbourne?
There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of opportunity in Melbourne as opposed to other cities (Sydney, Brisbane) for CF positions. When I was looking for a new job ~ 2-4 months ago, I was scrounging to find CF development positions. It was actually quite hard. The channels I looked through were CFJobs (nothing), it.Seek (where I found my current job), and mycareer (almost a mirror image of seek) That being said, I also believe that there is a skill shortage in terms of quality CF developers. Those of us that are employed are kept on board, and those of us that looking, tend to get snapped up pretty quick. I turned around my job in about 3/4 months, which is reasonably fast considering 2 of those months were december and january - where (a) nothing ever happens in Australia and (b) I was in the US all of Jan.
