I want to move to Australia but how?

17 years ago
I am very much interested in migrating to Australia in the next two to three months but I don't know how easily this can be done. I don't have a job there though I have been searching online for jobs in Sydney (NSW) area. If I just go there on a tourist visa how easy or difficult would it be to find work there, extend my stay if I don't find work right away and what options do I have once I get there. Of course my other concerns are the cost of living and other essential neccesities of life. I have been living in Thailand for the past year and a half and am not a newcomer to migrating, but is it more difficult to just stay in Australia as it is to do so in Thailand? My previous work was in IT/Help Desk and Support so I hope to resume work in that field if jobs are readily available. Is it easy obtaining a work visa once I am there or should I try to get one while I am still here in Thailand? So many questions yet no one to ask for advice. If anyone can offer sincere advice and information based on fact please respond. Thanks
