Need instructions for rigging an aussie jib setup

How do you rig an aussie setup?

I assume I should shackle the lower end of the jib first, but what are the tricks to keep me from ending up with a tangled mess?

Thanks -

There's no real tricks, I keep my halyard down at the bottom of the mast while setting up, then when hooking up the jib, just make sure the blocks are lined up at the top and bottom ortherwise it may get twisted as you crank up the jib. Then take all the extra line after cleating it off and wrap it up in neat loops and stash it on the deck, on the tramp pocket if you have one. Hope that helps!
