The Meet and Greet guys, Dick and Ray, are most helpful, driving all around the place in their cars to get tax numbers sorted, bank accounts opened, blood tests and just simply orientating all new arrivals to their new place of work.

Anna Staples: "There is an amazing range of accommodation to look at... I'm glad I didn't stop after the first place, they are getting better and better Dick Bennett and Ray Keane are keeping tabs on my house hunting and are keeping their ears to the ground, which is good"

Sounds like an adventure? The next round of interviews will be conducted around May in most major cities in Australia and New Zealand.
