We are moving to taz as soon as our visa is sorted, probably may-ish. ive been doing some research like yourself.
I contacted Pickfords for moving our stuff, bearing in mind we only have personal possessions to bring, nothing big. i can see if i can copy what it was going to cost to ship over 3 tea chests.
i also have a list of good / bad/ indifferent areas around Taz, taken from another forum, however it is a bit old and probably out of date, i've posted on my thread asking for opinions too.
