My warmest greetings to you all.

I wish I could put my question in a simple way, but it seems that I need to give an explanation.

In seeking to know more of Islam than the internet can provide, it would seem to be a good idea to visit a mosque.

Where I live (rural Australia), there does not appear to be any.

If I go to the nearest city (4 hours away), the mosques appear to be centred on cultural boundaries (ie Turkish mosque, Pakistani mosque, Indonesian, etc)

I believe that Allah welcomes all.  But as I am not from a country where Islam is widely practiced, I feel completely out of my depth when stepping into a gathering of people with wholly unfamiliar cultural practices and language.  This is not about the faith, it is about the unfamiliar culture.

Being an introvert doesn't help, but I'll try my best to overcome my reserve.  But does anyone have suggestions as to how to introduce myself, and avoid doing anything likely to accidentally offend?

Also, how does one survive in the faith if living somewhere cut off from regular contact with others?

Thanks for your help.
