I carried my most treasured jewellry, photos, bits the kids had made me, etc with me, BUT when we arrived at our OAA (On Arrival Accomodation, in case other states don't offer it), I didn't know where to hide it.
But then I had a brilliant idea

hide the jewellry deep amongst the washing in the washing machine. Then, oh yes, I did.
So that's most of my kid's inheritance down the drain - not that they'd have been rich on it!

Mind you I bet it was clean.
I would thoroughly recommend insuring everything as soon as your travel insurance runs out...
