Hi Loraine, welcome to the forum!
It's always so good to meet more Aussie LCers.
This really is a great site - do have a good sticky beak around.
The best way to "share information and experiences" is to start a journal. You need to go to "My Journal/Bootcamp." The journals are arranged alphabetically by user name, so you would need the "Journals K to L."
To get there? Either go back to the main page and scroll down, or go to "forum jump" at the top or bottom of every page, and scroll down. There's a "sticky" at the top of the journals page with info on how to write your journal.
Cheers, Loriane.
