My, my, my, welcome! There are actually a lot of people from Australia, so, I really bet that you'll feel at home. :3
Becoming friends with people here isn't too hard! Feel free to make a conversation with the people who interest you, and hey, maybe you can be buddies with them! I myself would love to speak with you sometimes! Indeed, some boards in particular, like
Other Voing Polls or the
Other Chat & Discussions boards are good ways to get to know people, so, I hope that you'll enjoy exploring the boards around here. ^^
But yeah, enjoy yourself! Don't be afraid on asking for help if you need it. <3
