For those of you who like hanging around in internet forums, or who don't get to many physical meetings with other homeschoolers, or who are just looking for more information/support/ideas etc, I can highly recommend the Rockpool!
Started a few years ago by an ex-kiwi who had moved to Melbourne, the Rockpool is an online community of home educators who chat about all sorts of things - usually, but not always home ed related. I (Stacey) am quite often there, and have found it to be a really useful way to ask questions and get feedback about different ideas and resources. The nature of internet forums means that a bunch of people can give their opinions etc without all needing to be in the same room at the same time. Most of the members are Australian, and particularly, Victorians, but the forum is aimed at all Australasians and open to everyone.
You do need to register in order to post, but (I think) you can lurk without registering to see if it's your cup of tea
