Hi, welcome to HOP. I'm Aussie too, originally from Melbourne but now based in Newcastle. There's several members from Melbourne, once you're settled there take a look at the meetup forums - they're trying to get a monthly spin meet restarted.
You'll probably be up to your eyebrows in unpacking, but if you want to run away from all that for a couple of days Spin Festival is on in Collingwood next week Frid - Sunday:

Oh, and watch out for the Nutella - it attacts squirrelz!

Oooh, former baton twirler! I like.
I haven't done poi for more than a month but my baton twirling has surely helped me to get the basic understanding of poi.

Welcome to HoP!
As Jameth said, Nutella attracts squirrels, which is a bad thing.
But you get bonus points for liking Tolkien.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Propaganda! Nutella is chocolatey good and since squirrels cannot digest chocolate, like puppy dogs, you have nothing to fear.
If you are worried about the squirrels still help yourself to some of Assi/Refuge popcorn. It will keep all the bad things away.

do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!
