there is nothing that can prepare you for being alone in such a holiday! all i can say its try to enjoy it as much as you can! knowing that your love ones will be missing you as much or more! good luck
2 :
People in austria are very friendly, so while your there try to get to know some of the locals and see how they spend the holiday. Or you could even see what festivites are happening around your area. but as for as being home sick, try to keep in touch with your family as often as you can. call them on christmas or christmas eve, it will probably make you fill more at home.

keep as busy as possible and join in festivities all you can. I assume your job is travel related or resort related so you will meet new people etc.

Maybe bring a small (aritifical of course) cmas tree with you to austrailia and decorate it. Rent some christmas movies. Call your family :) on Christmas! Try to keep yourself busy/occupied! My younger sister is studying abroad in England this year and won't be here for christmas either. Her first cmas w/o the family. Just remember its just this year :) next year u can make it a GREAT cmas!!
