OK, I didn't expect any allowance for a 2am posting.
I tried adding Internet after I'd posted the poll but can't do so. Suggest we add it to media in general.
Oops, never mind.

In about the following order:
www.immi.gov.au
Mostly for visa info, but you'll be surprised at how much info and links there are under the Settling in Oz heading.
Then the embassy website. Was the Hague, which didn't have much/linked to dimia, but now Berlin, which has some extra info/ a clear list of what to include in our application (spouse).
Then this forum. (the search button!)
Then de dutch forum on emigration (there isn't much posted there, but still, the search button is handy, and sometimes there's useful stuff)
www.centrelink.com.au
BUt this one, and others are all goverment ones, which you'll get to through the www.immi.gov.au one.
Then there's a few websites of posters on here.
Karrawarra's Moving Downunder http://www.movingdownunder.co.uk/files/start.php
And there's another good one, forgot the name. has lots of links.
