Acting help in Australia? (I Know, just another actor)?

Question

Hey there,
firstly I guess I better start by saying, yes.....I'm ANOTHER one of those people looking to get into acting, but instead of negating myself, I'm just gonna cut to the chase.

I'm now 21, but I still look pretty young. Also I'm not very tall (about 5 ft 6), so hopefully that will help me. I Live in Sydney. Looking to get into acting. I don't care about being famous! If it happens, it happens...if not, well, it doesn't. I've had a bit off acting experience, I was with a theatre company for a few yrs. I also danced from when I was 8 for about 10 yrs. I'm looking into joining another theatre group if I can. Should I start looking for a reliable agency? If so where would I look for one in Sydney? I'm pretty new to this so any help would be appreciated. Also, would it be too much of a jump to move to Los Angeles and start looking there? Or should I wait? Because in all honesty, L.A is inevitably where it all happens.
Thanks.

I keep trying to help Aussies, but they are an independent bunch. By all means get into another theatre group, put your resume together, get a good head shot and try to get an agent. Also take some professional acting classes. You can worry about LA when they come for you, there is an industry in Oz.
