If you can get up to Charters Towers (1 hour south west of Townsville) for the weekend from the 22nd to the 26th of Jan, there is a huge cricket carnival on, called the Goldfield Ashes. I'm sure with the influx of people, the pubs might be happy to pay cash for a helping hand. I'd call some first before making the trip though
I also feel that the further north you go into QLD, the less people will worry about the tax man. It is wet season up there, but you can make it to Townsville and Cairns very easily. If you head west from there past the Gulf of Capentaria though, expect closed and impassible roads. But if you stick to the coast, you could reach Cape York with ease, and also find lots of towns along the way that might have some labouring jobs on the go.
