I though that when someone first asked me to join.
Being nosey I did join, but then never went on.
In the past year or so I've used it a lot, and I love it.
I check there before Accy Web now.
There are groups for all kinds of things.
I started a young onset Parkinson's group, because there wasn't a UK one, and it's been invaluable, and I've made some great friends, some of which I'm friends with in the 'real' world.
I also love Scrabble, and hadn't played for years since my dad's death, because that was our game. Now I have a few games going all the time, including with my friend in Gran Canaria, as well as nail biting matches with Gayle.
I'd say give it a go. It'd be a good way for you to feel closer to your family and friends down under, and if you don't think it's for you there's nothing lost.
