Reading blogs

as one might expect there is abundant information about the process of moving to Oz. It will take someone a lot of time to sort it through, this is my attempt.

I just finished reading the blog of A venezuelan couple living their Australian dreams and all in all it contains good information. Has very few off topic posts and I liked it. I recommend.
As this is the first blog I read, I'm sorry, but I didn't mark the very important posts.

Reading this blog took me a day (but it's 40 posts at most). It's about a family of 5 that immigrated to Sydney and their 8 month of living there. It's a good read and I found these posts most interesting:
1) How to ease your integration in the social life
2) Spider in a newspaper
3) Getting ready to move to OZ
4) Property buying tutorial

A really small blog was Swivel's Blog. It's in Spanish and English and contains little useful info (but then again... it takes 2 hours max to read it). I found a couple of interesting things on it though:
1) A big list of useful links
2) Some shorts about OZ
3) A site on which you can search a migration agent by location

A blog with only 4 entries that's full of useful job finding advice is http://firstjobaustralia.blogspot.com/ This guy really tells it how it is and gives some practical specific tips that would help anyone new to OZ.

Another blog about life of a British in Australia is One Whinging Pom. I found myself amused reading quite a few of the posts there. So it's all worth reading, but the practical advise is in these posts:
  1. Tips about banks
  2. A short description of animals that could live in your yard
  3. Buying second hand car
  4. Australia after a year
  5. Healthcare system? Yeah... it's hard
  6. Cost of living seen through a brit's eyes
  7. Driving madness
Soon to come...
