Useful websites for newcomers to the Forum.
Hope this will be of some help to the newbies on the forum, although you might have some already.
www.agd.com.au
Allows you to search for all education/schools/colleges in all states
www.emigratingtoaustralia.com
Helpful information on emigrating
www.eddept.wa.edu.au
If your heading to WA has info on schools, term dates, info of special interest to parents i.e. curriculum, guide for parents etc, pre-school
www.raa.net (SA) or www.rta.nsw.gov.au (NSW)
Gives you a go at practice driving tests - a bit of a giggle until you realise you keep failing!!
www.koalanet.com.au
Fun site for aussie slang
www.movingdownunder.co.uk
General info including applying for a visa, making a list before you go about things you'll need to cancel (phone, utilities etc), redirect mail ......
www.passports.gov.au
Advice on passport photos (not as easy as it sounds!)
www.softlandings.com
A-Z of all you need to know re migrating

The West Australian newspaper online - classifieds, real estate, employment, finance etc
www.dimia.gov.au
Official government website - has it all for what you need to do re applying for a visa
There are loads more but this should help you get started (labours of mis-spent evening hours trawling internet for any info that I may find of help in our quest for the yellow envelope).
Enjoy.....
