Thanks to the people who have responded so far!

@DK-- Thanks for the detail! As far as jobs go, I have a lot of job experience doing various things, a few certifications but no degree...will that hurt me? I would like to see about getting into nursing but I'm not sure if anyone does free training or if I would have to pay for classes. I have thought about volunteering as an EMT over here while I'm waiting for my visa to process but I don't know if I will have time. And for a car, I usually buy used from owners but my dad won't be in Australia so I can't get it repaired for free :< So I guess any kind of car. Is credit score global?

Shazza-- Can you elaborate? I don't know much about the Australian political system, not in detail anyway and I'm interested

DL- XD

GL-- Again thanks for the detail! I've been to one club and though it was fun its not really my scene. I like being outside in nature the most, or exploring cultural things like museums and art galleries. I did like Adelaide when I went in Feb 2010, it seemed like a nice city and not too big, I grew up in a rural area so even American cities like Baltimore sort of make me feel out of place a bit.


Another question for anyone-- How is housing? Like renting an apt or something, how are the utilities done? Also, health insurance. Phone and internet, and international phone calls? Thank you guys again!
