Answer 5

See the 'Just Landed' guide for Australia http://www.justlanded.com/english/austra...

Also Immigration has put together a list of things to do first when you arrive in Australia http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-austral... and info on settling here http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-austral...

Good Luck !

Answer 6

YES dropbears.

depending on where you are moving to you have to be careful of these they are a relative on the koala.

Basically they are the carnivourous version of the koala they drop on you if they feel threatened.

Answer 7

I'm going to have a bit of a rant here but it's not directed at you.

Don't be like some of the answerers here and tell us our seasons are backwards.

They're not.

They ARE OPPOSITE to the northern hemisphere.

Your average Aussie is very friendly and out going but we don't take kindly to being told we're wrong because we're in the southern hemisphere.

Our accent is not cute, it's just the way we speak.

This Aussie slang page may help you once you're here to get the jist of the lingo.

Don't bother with all the upside down and down under jokes. They won't be appreciated.

Avoid trying to say G'day, just say hello or hi like you would anywhere else. G'day never comes out right when non-Australians say it. I don't know why that is.

Also remember we don't automatically tip everyone for everything. Tipping is rare in Australia.

K Bear, above, always provides good and informative sites to visit ,if you are a new arrival.

Welcome, and I hope you settle in well and enjoy being here.

We really are friendly and welcoming, I'm just a bit grumpy today. :)

Answer 8

Good day and welcome to Oz, We are a relaxed and laid back kind of people, So to fit in just relax and enjoy yourself.

Answer 9

Your moving to AUSTRALIA??!!

WOW!

Do you live in the states right now?

This is what I know:

The seasons are backwards, when we have summer-they have winter! When we have winter they have summer :P

I saw the cast of HSM in Australia with kangaroos.....(;

Super cute, haha

Anyways, its a continent and have fun!

Umm......NO more JB!??!
