I live in Australia, but I must say I am a little confused where you said:
"I'm an Australian who's just moved to Tokyo a few months ago working as an English teacher."

and then you wrote:

" I'm finding it hard meeting Japanese people who can speak English. I'm learning Japanese but I'm no good (yet)."

So, you are teaching English to the Japanese, but you yourself don't speak fluent Japanese as to educate them in English...

I am confused, somebody enlighten me =.="
