Make sure you hunt around for different presentations regarding basic investment options

http://www.count.com.au/investor_education/Principles/Investment_Types.htm - from AUS.
http://www.sorted.org.nz/home/sorted-sections/investing/investment-types - from NZ.
http://www.westpac.com.au/internet/publish.nsf/content/PBISLAUI+Types+of+investment - Aussie banks offering education and direct links to their products.
This is the basic stuff.
Has anyone else got better suggestions? Specific or more detailed explanation of costs, benefits, risks, most appropriate times in life or parts of the economic cycle when one type is preferable to another???

This one's good for explaining what some of the options are, how they work, etc. I found it off the personal economics site.

I found it pretty helpful for starting off research and then going a bit deeper into some of the options.

The RBA's statment on monetary policy realy helped me get an idea of the Australian climate, but a bit of a boring read:

On www.news.com.au, there is a section under Money called Investing, with quite a few articles regarding where to invest, why, in regard to the current economic climate. It's pretty helpful.
