HIYA
I only shipped necessaties we used Crown Relo as Shippers ,not the cheapest but very good both sides.I believe customs are quite on the ball so dont try smuggling anything,lol

Rentals in the city do seem quite pricey although rental prices are rising all over.Most folks here think nothing of travelling half an hour or so too work .I presume Sydney is the same.Not sure about credit cards ,my bank have strated sending me mail this last month or so and ive been here nearly a year.Dont know if thats coinsidence or not.We still use our uk one if we need too..Your credit rating does start at zero when you get here thou.

Hope that helps you a little bit
Take care

You can open a Bank account when you get here ,you will need an adress thou.You can buy a pre paid mobile easy ,but if you havnt a job may struggle getting a contract one.

I think Medicare is compulsary and it is also asked for as ID alot of times.Not as many people as i thought have private cover ,i have spoke to many and i think it boils down to personal financies and the majority i know /have spoken too dont have any.The bigger company around here is Medibank,but i guess there are loads.
