Depending on your industry that might be easier than you realise. Lots of North Americans in Oz.

I think we might have three or four schools somewhere...
But yeah, maybe check out seek.com.au they'll have ads for schools that are hiring, they might require you to be a resident but some might work around it and sponsor you.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent about eight years of my childhood in WA, mainly around Perth (Vic Park) but also two years down south in Rockingham. Vaguely remember visiting Albany and Bunbury too.

Funny you mention Rockingham.....*shifty eyes*

I've heard about Australian schooling.

Hi MsGrace;

I am living in Victoria, south of Melbourne. I am here generally in the Summer & Autumn months and then in the United Kingdom for the northern hemisphere summer.

Watching the water going down the sink gets a bit confusing, so are the jibes from friends in the UK that tell me I sound like an Australian and friends in Oz that tell me I sound like a Pom!
Hugs

[delyth ann]

I am in Sydney.

I'm assuming that this is Australian slang for the British? What's the common slang term for Canadians? Also, and pardon if this is an embarrassing question to ask, how do Australian generally perceive the Canadian accent and dialect? Always curious.

[Ms Grace]

Hi everyone, great to meet you, if I haven't already that is! I might have to tally the roll in a table. Looks like Sydney has edged out Adelaide. Still no one from Tassie or the NT?

I've heard about Australian schooling. 

I'm not sure where you get those crazy sci-fi ideas...this is more like it.

Yeah, don't know where Pom comes from but it's a kind of "friendly" jibe. I think it applies uniquely to English, not Scots or Welsh. Some English people in Australia embrace it, others loathe it.

To be honest the Canadian accent sounds a lot like certain American accents. But I've long since learned that Canadians hate being asked, "so which part of the States do you come from?" I worked with a Canadian woman for a number of years and because of that I've learned how to differentiate Canadian accents from the American and usually get it right most of the time. Although last year a met a young woman from Quebec - she sounded French to me! She was in Australia to improve her English.

Funny you mention Rockingham.....*shifty eyes*

I lived there 1970-71, just around the corner from the beach business strip. My memory was of a quiet and quaint beachside village. I visited there in 2007...wow, has it changed!!

Kia Ora,

Now lets see, I was born in the UK to a Jamaican Father and English mother, I moved to Oz (Sydney) in 1969 spent around 17 years all up in Oz(travelling back and forth to Europe etc), during which time I became a Aussie citizen...Then in 1986 I moved to Aotearoa (NZ) where I have a permanent resident status but still maintain an Aussie citizenship....
(even though I haven't been back there)...

So this would make me an "Afro-Saxon-Aussie-Kiwi"

I have heard about two-headed Tasmanians, but when an Aussie girl gets SRS, do the doctors also create an abdominal pouch, like the other marsupials?   

pommy - Disparaging. (in Australia and New Zealand)
a British person, especially one who is a recent immigrant.
Also, pom·mie, pom.

Origin:
1910–15;  origin obscure; corroborating evidence for any of the numerous fanciful etymologies proposed for the word is so far lacking

Kia Ora Jamie,

The most common belief of the origin is Prisoner Of Mother England  P.O.M.E
Remember back in the day England used to ship the convicts to the colonies ( However at first the "undesirables" were shipped of to the Americas but after the war of independance, Oz was used)
