Looking for a support !

Hi all, I am a researcher & want to visit Australia to continue my research on suburbs people survivals. I want to know more about the culture, climate, their ways of living, cost of living, structure of living, etc. Brief about myself, i am a student of PhD. from India & doing deep research on people living in suburbs of developed & developing countries. Guys, i have searched on internet too. found few sites like - Microburbs but not found much relevant to Australia. guys suggest something better to proceed quickly on my research.....Regards !
