THANK YOU CAL! I don't think everyone knows this. When I've watched tv progs regarding people moving Oz-side with a complete entourage of pets, no one's ever explained that they need to be registered $$££ in their new home town! No one's ever mentioned that there are limits as to numbers of pets or type! Also, what about horses & ponies - if you had a (rural)farmette of 2 or 3 hectares, would that be enough for 1 or 2 equines?? & what about cats?? I have a friend who's brother lives in Texas, who were forever losing cats to scorpions, not very nice; so would there be a risk from nasty critters on our dearly belov'd companion animals? Actually, are there scorpions in Oz??
