SVR: How did you get Werkstatt products in Aus?

[SVR]

I simply contacted jeff with an in depth email about what I had read about the products and really wanted to try them out
Chatted about which postal service to go for and bingo

USPS air parcel is a good one.

I've been reading a little bit on Australia but I have a feeling that all of my preconceived notions (or lack thereof) of Australia are wrong

If previous exchange students are any indication...they've, in general, gone to the Melbourne/Adelaide area. I believe very few go to the Sydney metro area, at least with my organization. Only about 7 students from the United States go to Australia through Rotary each year, which is dramatically low compared to other countries, in part because in the past decades U.S. to Australia students didn't want to come home and apparently were a problem for Australia (dole-wise? I don't really know).

pigeonbus, apologies for the delay in getting back. No matter which Aussie city you come to you should have a ball. Each is different and anyone who says they favour one over another or one is better than the other is their opinion only.

on the US students not wanting to go home. Yep Australia does seem to do that to people from the North Hemisphere

I've recently got wind of my cities. For the first 6 months I'm going to a town called Warren, in the middle of NSW. I guess it's a rather small place...

For the last half I'll be close to Newcastle, in a town called Victoria, on Lake Macquarie.

I'm so excited!
