I really feel for you, as I was in a similar situation myself. You really, really, need to talk to your hubby and you will feel so much better. As someone else said, try to work through this - take up yoga or medication as it really does help. After 2 years in Oz I grew to adore it and was (am) devastated to have to leave to come back to the UK. It is not at all easy to come back to the UK either. You are treated as a leper and cannot get work, bank accounts or anything until you have been here for a minimum of three months. Do try hard to get through this, move up to QLD as it is wonderful there. Hot and humid though, but summer all year round. Good luck and happy thoughts.

Australia DOES have two electrical current systems, but the 15A is usually found in workshops, businesses etc. This is the equivalent of what we call 'three phase' in the UK. The domestic system runs on 10A and your equipment should run on this (lower) amperage without any problems. were you running it with an adapter or had you had it replugged? Adapters are not advisable!
