Are you looking to ship Perth to Brisbane or Uk to Brisbane, the location on your profile says Perth?

Does the box separate as in - top box and bottom box?

Does it have castors on ?

Hi there, wondering if anyone can suggest the cheapest way to send a mechanic's tool box to Brisbane?

It weigh's approx 300kg and measure's 2mx1.5mx1.5m.

Thanks in advance

Could have written that myself Hayley!!!! I wish you and yours the very best of luck back home in blighty xxxx

I think we need to put a wee bit perspective in here. It is great that Hayley is going back to do what she wants to do and be where she wants to be but everyone's life is different. I have lived in Oz for many happy years and have friends who are like family there and now this comes to the big question that people underestimate - are you happy forging a new life in a new country without your family (or extended family)? Webweazel - sounds like you are in a bit of a panic - has your husband never worked away before? If not, it sounds like something you would not be comfortable with no matter where in the world you were. Anyway life is for living and being happy but as I said everyone's life is different and what makes them happy is different. So good luck to you all whatever you want to do but do not be swayed by what other people say (unless you want to be of course) for every unhappy story I hear on here I hear another ten good ones. Anyway have a really good think what YOU want from life

Agree with you there, BUT its not for everyone and it depends on what trade you are in. Totally agree with the op about the cost of living... My hubby is a tradie and we are worse off financially.. And if people did not want to hear these things, dont read the post's.

Unemployment figures for WA are at 3.8% the Uk is 8.4% and the further north you go, the higher it is.

Not saying we are unemployed, just worse off financially

It isn't working out for them here in the uk and there seems little hope for them long term there. No one is saying it is Rosey' over in Australia, but from their current position, there must be areas that ARE better, i agree it would be a good idea, for the hubby to come out and find work first, so again ..... does anyone have any idea where this might be, Australia is a huge country and unemployment is extremely low in places.

Ok dont come to WA we are worse off

Oh and forgot to add the answer to your original question ' is it worth spending your life savings to get to australia' one word.....NO

If you are planning to come to WA, get oh to get a job 1st... My oh is a carpenter/joiner and he is fitting aliminuim windows !!!

Also do your research on cost of living .... you will be shocked

Good luck and look forward to reading your updates xx

I know exactly how you feel, but your situation is a little worse as I have our 11yr old with us.

My 3 kids from a previous marriage, 34,30 and 26 are back in the UK and I know they are all grown ups but I cant describe the feeling of missing them. And then this eve thought I would skype them (which we do most weekends) and the buggars are all busy! Good to know I am not always in their thoughts though.

Our 11 yr old is fine, made lots of friends and is always busy. I would go home tomorrow, and so would my OH for different reasons, but we are going to give it a couple of yrs (9mths in) for the sake of our daughter... and my sister is visiting Oct then my daughter xmas, so have to stay for them.. It does'nt matter how old your kids are, you will always be their Mom.. The very best of luck with whatever you decide to do, and who knows, when your son visits he may fall in love with the place. xx

Menlow4, Feel for you, really know where you are coming from. I am in Mandurah, so if you fancy a coffee and a chat, give us a shout. Good luck with everything, x
