Australia: banks & phones
Any Aussies reading this, I could do with some advice. I need to open a bank account, and I figure I should also pick up a local prepay mobile.
Banks: is it like the UK (where banks are nationwide, in general) or like the US (where they're state-based)? i.e. if I open a bank account in Adelaide, will this be a PITA when I get to Sydney? Also, any particularly good/bad experiences or suggestions appreciated.
Phones: argh, prepay is horribly complicated. But anyway. Good/bad networks?
