•Fitting in.  While the challenges of fitting in are greatly reduced for Brits in Australia thanks to the lack of a language barrier and the fact the same basic culture pervades in both nations, Australia is still a world apart from Europe!  Getting used to the climate, people and pace of life might take some time.
