Is that right?

I don't know how we will find our rented address until we are actually in Australia, I thought I could email the removal company once we were settled after a week or so - isn't that what most people do ? Or should we be looking to rent from the website, beforte we leave here? I'm afraid I will choose a town we won't like, then have to uproot the children again ... can anyone please give me advice?

Also - has anyone used 1st contact or excess-baggage? I know Crown has been mentioned a lot on this forum, so am going to get a quote from them. But Allied Pickfords scared me today and made me think I was mad to not have aplace arranged already !!!

We used Allied Pickfords and they were great..... we used my OH job's address and telephone for our contact address as we didn't have an address to give them and that was fine...

good luck
