Many - in fact most - TVs here in the land of Oz (and welcome back!!) have NTSC capability. Most DVD recorders also can handle an NTSC feed, although if you do so through IEEE1394 I could only guess that would work as well.

The short answer is that if you're buying the NTSC camcorder with mini-DV, you should have very few issues with playback or capture back in the land of PAL, 240 volts, sunshine, good beer etc etc...
