Ooooh. You mean it's your FIRST Ghibli movie? Oh, I envy you. Find Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke. Believe it or not, these are BETTER. And there are more. Hayao Miyazaki is a prolific director, and there are other movies (such as the Cat Returns) dirrected by other people from his studio, that are almost as good as his.
I had heard about Spirited Away and thought I might check it out. I take it all these movies are available on DVD at present? I'll get them from my local DVD rental place. I must admit, if Howl's Moving Castle is a not very good example of these types of films, I probably will end up loving them. Anything whimsical, fantastical and totally unrelated to reality is right up my alley in terms of entertainment.
All the ones I mentioned are available on DVD in the US. I don't know what the distribution deal for Australia is, but presumably, since you're closer to Japan, they'll be there, too.
Sadly, I can't think of any non-Studio Ghibli produced Anime that doesn't appeal mainly to the inner teenage boy, but you'll like Miyazaki and his crew. Here's a filmography.
