Dogs, cars and stuff

[Lin]

Helloo,
It is very early days for us I know but I have to get things straight in my head and organised! Has anyone taken a dog with them? How did it cope with the journey? Also what are we able to export over there (I heard there was a problem with wooden items). Are there any reccommendations of things to take? I'd quite happily bring just myself, my dog and a suitcase - oh, husband as well of course!
Said husband needs to know about exporting a restoration project (he won't leave without it!) It is an E Type and he was wondering about spares etc.
I think that's all for now!

Hi there, can answer your question about wooden items. You can take wooden items with you but when your container gets to customs in Oz they will check all wooden items - any that show signs of woodworm are destroyed and all other wooden items are sprayed (couldnt tell you what with!). The other thing you cant take are items like gardening tools, spades etc - they cannot have even the slightest speck of soil on them.
Hope this is some help, Julie
