Hey,
I would suggest

rent a house
get a car
look for a job

job hunting in oz is VERY different - much harder in general than UK job search.

however theres a few sites that will help you with all this - if you want the URLS please contact me..

good luck..

...Kissed the tarmac....then rented a house, bought a car, got a job, in that order. ( And inbetween times, got a TFN, registered with medicare and centrelink, tracked down a primary school for boy and day care for girl etc etc...)

Good luck and don't stress!!!

Hubby had a ciggy - we stood in the middle of the airport pavement trying to avoid bushes therefore avoiding spiders and snakes - now we walk barefoot ! Amazing how the mindset changes so quickly.

Seriously, don't rush things - take a couple of weeks time-out. Block book a hotel to get cheaper rates. We rushed it slightly and wish we hadn't, you need time to adapt to climate, time and the enormous lifestyle change.

Good luck.
