BEST OF LUCK!
Hahaha! Thanks Joel!
Actually one of the first things my girlfriend said to me was: "You'd better not slip into the accent!" Becuase I have this knack for being able to pick up accents very quickly. Put me in aroom with someone with a strong British accent and I will start sounding very similar in about 2 minutes. The same goes for most types of American accents.
And thanks to everyone else for their words of support. Been doing a lot of research into places to live and it is all very daunting. Some people say one thing, and some say another. Oh well, it will be a nice challenge all the same.

Green card are very hard to get... the best I can get at the moment is a sponsored working visa through the company I will be working for. That pretty much gives you all the same benefits, minus a few. But once you have that and have been working for a couple of years it helps the green card process significantly.

Hey Cub I'll find you an American girl you can Marry and I'll Marry your partner, then the both of you can stay just as long as you like...
Don't worry though Cub I won't require Consummation of the Marriage...

Man people are getting edgy aren't they. I assume they don't count the US as an at risk country (though lord knows we've got our share of crazies too).
I'd like to visit Australia someday. It's part of my plan to visit all 7 continents before I die. Right now I've got Australia and Antarctica to go. I'd like to see Asia again. Technically I was born there but left when I was a child so have no memories.
So please tell me is Australia as beautiful as people say?

You've got spiders the size of headcrabs! You can keep those mate!
I could never go to Australia because of my severe arachnophobia.
On a related note - I'm happy for your move! At least now I can come see yous!
