Moving to Australia - Please help

I'm thinking of moving to Australia from Canada. I have a few questions, maybe you can help :D

-I'm a big ice hockey fan. Which Australian city has the most ice
arenas? Are they open year round or only in the winter? Do you have
outdoor ice hockey arenas? What months are they opened?

-I don't have children yet, but when I do, I want them to go to
French school. Which Australian city has the most public French
schools?

-How many French language stations do you get on cable?

-What percentage of radio stations in Melbourne have mainly French
music?

-I'm a big fan of Alanis Morisette, Céline Dion, Rush and Avril
Lavigne (April Vine), how many times per hour will I hear their music
on the average radio station?

-Is Canadian ice wine available at the local convenience store (aka
depaneur) or do I have to go all the way to the grocery store?

-Is Tasmania still part of Australia? Is Tasmania the Australian
equivalent to the Isle of Man or is it more like Ireland?

-If Tasmania is still part of Australia, when will the next referendum
be? Do I have to be a citizen to vote or can I just promise to move
there?

-Are there Tasmanian language courses available online?

-Do you have foxes in Australia? If not, that may be why you have so
many rabbits.

-What Internet search engines are available in Australia? Do you have
access to the French language Internet? Will my Betamax tapes work on
my Betamax VCR while in Australia or should I transfer them to
film?(you loose quality on VHS)

-Since you drive on the left hand side of the road, what modifications
will I need to make to my bicycle?

-Qantas flies from Melbourne to Toronto via Los Angeles. Wouldn't it
be much quicker via the South and North poles?

-Canada geese (aka North Pole Penguins) fly south for the winter and
north for the summer. In other words, they fly north during your winter
and south during your summer. When Canada has its summer (now), during Australia's winter (now), do South Pole Penguins fly north or south?
What about in the winter?

Thanks
Sam
