One thing I will miss in Aus will be the music scene: I remember talking about Glastonbury and the other festivals to Aussies I worked with near Emerald. It seems that they just don't have anything on that scale there, though quite a few bands do visit Aus on tour, so check for who's playing in your neck of the woods.
Oh, and try and discover local bands, as I heard a few that I'd never heard of before arriving in Aus whom I thought were rather good!

Alas, I'll be at the other end of the country (North East Qld) from Melb'n which is prob. the best place for venues in Aus, though I'll soon find out what the craic is with the local music scene when I get there I suppose.
