Hi. There are some great links here. I have recently moved to Australia from New Zealand and purchased this ebook called Crossing The Ditch. Its a book aimed at Kiwis moving to Australia but is really relevant for everyone and anyone worldwide. There are some great tips in it. Just thought it might be worth a mention.
