Australia

I own a home with substantial equity, and I'm thinking of moving to Austraila from the U.S. What is the median price of a 3 bed 2 bath house in a suburb of one of the major fair weater cities? Also while your at it, how difficult is it for Americans to obtain Aussie citizenship? Anybody know what the job market is like, particulary in construction?

I'm planning a trip to New Zealand. Will be biking the West Coast of the South Island, ending with the train trip over the alps to Christchurch. Have a week afterwards and trying to decide where to spend it. I definitely want to do some wine tasting, and know a winery I like in Martinborough. That being said, I was also thinking of containing myself to the South Island on this trip. Is the Martinborough region better, worse, the same as Marlborough/Blenheim?

I'm 22 and plan to travel round New Zealand for about 2-3 months this time next year (I'm hoping Sept til the end of Dec) but not sure where to start to find the best deals....and how much money I should save (obviously the more the better but I will be on a budget, no 5* hotels for me)

I want to stop off in Malaysia, and pop to Singapore for a week(ish) then spend most my time travelling round NZ (back packing and hostels) then another week or so in Sydney. Then back home to London in time for Christmas.....

Can anyone suggest a good travel company for flights and travel around New Zealand (I'm thinking coach or train as I can't drive and don't plan to inbetween now and then)

Also any general tips when travelling would be appriciated.

Thanks
