An easy reading reference book for tourists, visiting businesspeople and migrants. It covers doing business in Australia, the legal system, migration, road rules, real estate, politics and elections, the health care system, the military, and many more subjects.

The 1800-word Australian-English dictionary will help make the dialect and dialogue understandable.
