A noobs guide to oz?

@ daycat : lol i totally understand where your coming from mate :-)

I basically wanna sample the culture of Australia (not the neighbours & home and away culture that most people think hehe) I basically wanna get away from the uk and as stupid as it sounds... Have an "experience". For some reason australia seems to be calling me lol... Dunno why tho!
I cant see myself draining all your info and the leaving the branches and not coming back..As a noob, im sure i could help somone at a later date in the same boat as me and save you the hastle :-P
