Games bought outside of Europe will not work natively on a European console.

I'm pretty sure that games bought in any PAL country (e.g, Australia) should be compatible.
More info on Wikipedia about PAL

I was just going to ask the same question. I take it that Wii games bought in the U.S. will not work on the Wii console here - is that correct?

Yep, that's correct. It'll say on the box which system it's for, and it's similar to the region of DVDs you buy abroad.
