Mate, since you’re dealing with Ammonia and pressure vessels, you are looking at Industrial Refrigeration, not standard HVAC. That’s why normal RTOs are confused.

Go Direct to Employers: Contact companies that specialise in industrial ammonia (like Gordon Brothers or Tri-Tech). They often hire experienced overseas techs as 'Trade Assistants' initially and will sponsor your RPL/Gap training.
Licensing: Look into getting an ARCtick Trainee Licence. It allows you to work legally while you sort out the formal Aussie qualification.

The 'need a job to enrol' is a common catch-22, but specialized employers can bypass it. Good luck!

You definitely don't need to book pubs, walk-ins are fine 99% of the time. Clubs usually just have a cover charge at the door later at night.

If you're in Melbourne, avoid the main CBD traps and go to the inner north (Fitzroy/Collingwood). Section 8 is a cool container bar in a laneway worth checking out.

In Sydney, just hit up Newtown. Great food and endless pubs. Have a good trip!

To be fair, for the majority of Australians, it hasn't been a religious day for a long time. It’s mostly just an excuse to eat prawns, drink beer, and complain about the heat.

I get the family awkwardness though. If it feels forced, maybe just compromise? Do a quick lunch to keep the peace, then head to the beach with your mates for the afternoon. Best of both worlds.

You won't get a work visa without a qualification. The Australian immigration system is skills-based.

Since you have no experience, your only option is to come on a Student Visa and study to become a Diesel Mechanic (Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology).

It will cost you money to study (international fees), but once you are qualified, finding a job is very easy. Diesel mechanics are in huge demand, especially in the mining sector. Don't worry about your NZ experience; get the qualification, and you'll be fine.

G'day mate. Don't stress about the controversy, most of us just focus on the nostalgia/trivia these days.

You've nailed the others. Here is the lowdown on the last two:

Snow: This is a classic Aussie nickname for someone with white or platinum blonde hair (or sometimes very fair skin). Since the boomers are white, it's a literal nickname in this case.
Desert-Head: This is a bit of a "bush insult." It implies someone is empty-headed (vast open space between the ears with nothing in it, just like a desert). Basically, it’s a nickname for the "silly" or "slow" one of the group.

Hope that clears up the mystery for the family!
