What country are comming to Australia from?
Australia has agreements with the UK, Germany, and Canada. Where you can get a working/holiday VISA for a period of a year. This 'cuts the red tape' of getting an actual resident permit.
However, Australia is in dramatic shortage of skilled 'tradies'.... but i'm not sure how much weight they give to a criminal record.
See the Australian Depart of Immigration... or Ring the consolute near you!!

You could also check out the Lonely Planet forum for some advice - there are lots of people who have asked immigration questions like yours so you should find some info there. Good luck!

not enough credentials i'm afraid. you need to have at least had a couple more convictions
