Recommended reading for migrating to Australia
Hello 
Was wondering if anyone has read any books they can recommend on migrating to Australia that they found inspirational or with helpful info about making the move.
I have been looking on Amazon and Book Depository. Some have really awful reviews. Though I did find one called Digeridoos and Digeridonts with 19 really good reviews so I've ordered that one.
Any recommendations for others would be great, thanks...

Bill Bryson's "Down Under" is great for a very funny insight into potential 'culture' shocks.

The Fatal Shore.
An historical account of convict transportation from Georgian England.
Excellent book if you're into history.

The Australia section of this Paul Theroux travel book is particularly apposite.
