MCGirr,
Sounds like a great tree change......... for a while anyway, take it as it comes i say.
Prepare yourself, the longer u stay the harder you'll find coming back to the big smoke......... this is not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind, your views and outlook on life and priorities will be different from what it was.
I say this as i've been working out of Aus now for the past near 10yrs, always in impoverished countries. Things i see in Aus and things i hear people stress over just blow me away, i have to bite my tongue otherwise i come across as overly uncaring
