    1. When you go to the toilet you will notice there are two buttons. The one on the left is if you had a piss; the one on the right is if you had a shit.
    2. If you take a ride in a taxi by yourself, it is considered bad form to sit in the back.
    3. Mobile phones. As I understand it if you bring an unlocked one from the UK you should be able use it. Unless it has variable frequency, a phone from north America will not work here. Much as I am loath to recommend Telstra, they do have the best network. Go for pre-paid. If you bring a small notebook with you, there is the option of using Skype or video Facebook.
    4.Superannuation. Find out as soon as possible what the super fund is when you start work and write to them telling them you do not want any life insurance as this will greatly diminish the end payout when you leave Australia.

    Yeah I doubt that it's very cool to go to someone and grab their "junk" to do a gender analysis. Might be consequences Lol!

    Be careful of bikies and strange people in Ballarat.
    Apparently there is a sewerage treatment farm nearby too as rumour has it, it smells like crap.
