Hi Debs,
Welcome to the forum.
If you look in the "Please read..." post there are links to the visas on the Aussie government website so you can check whether you think that is the correct visa for you. We came in through skilled independent and if you have the points then that one gives you more flexibility.
I haven't heard of that many expats in the Northern Territories. The most populated parts of Australia are along the Eastern and SE coasts, and of course you have Perth in the west.
When we were moving to South Australia I did as much research online as possible to find clubs that we could join since we didn't know anyone else out in South Australia. Library websites often have a list of local clubs.
We would definitely advise using an agent (make sure they are registered) since we wouldn't be here without one. Two agents said we couldn't get in and the third one got us in. If you search through the posts you'll find personal recommendations for agents from people and their costs.
Hope that helps,
Karen
