Syria is a long way from Australia and the 12,000 refugees who will make their way south over the next 12 months will be likely to measure the distance in more than kilometres.

叙利亚距离澳大利亚很远,1.2万难民将在未来一年南下,这段路程可不止数公里。
 
In a surprising policy change, the Australian government recently said it would accept 12,000 Syrian refugees from camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
 
In what will be Australia's biggest refugee intake1 in decades, the government is rushing to find accommodation and extra services to help resettle people fleeing trauma2 and persecution3 in their home country.
 
It won't be easy moving to a strange, new country but the government has a helpful explainer for new arrivals.
 
The "Life in Australia" booklet, published by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship4, offers handy tips and explanations about the ways down under.
 
There are facts and figures about the country, an explanation of national symbols and a potted history of this "wide, brown land".
 
More intriguingly5, the faceless bureaucrats6 have offered a cultural snapshot that may bemuse rather than reassure7 new arrivals, complete with definitions for time-honoured phrases such as "drop by this arvo for a cuppa" (please visit this afternoon for a cup of tea or coffee) and "no worries", which of course means "the task or request will be carried out without fuss or bother".
