Default Establishing Credit History

Hi All,

If all continues as planned my family (wife, 2 kids) and I will be moving to Melbourne in March/April.

I have about a thousand questions but the first one is financial: How long will it take to establish a credit history there and will banks or other lenders be able to access my US credit history? We will need to buy cars, furniture, electronics..... and even house rentals sometimes check on past credit history. Will I be subject to outrageous interest rates or will my excellent US credit history help me at all?

Thanks!
