Hi We fly into Melbourne next week and looking to hire a car for 2 weeks till we get sorted out with a car. Problem is neither off us has a credit card. What company's can we use with out 1 if any. We are to late now to apply for 1 here now . Any advise. thanks

Kids are 15,11 and 9 . Looking at rentals in the Doreen area but got nothing confirmed yet . Brother in law was looking over places for us at the weekend there. We know it's not going to be easy and things can be expensive . But we will give it a dame good go and see how it goes. My wife is an Australia citizen and kids have dual nationality . Wife been in Scotland now for over 20 years . Still got family and friends out in Melbourne it help us settle down and pick there brains about things.

When did you go to Barony. My sister went there.

We are from Castle Douglas .

Flights booked for 28th of May one way to Melbourne . Taken us 3 years to get there between selling house and everthing else. Kids now looking forward to the new adventure . They weren't before but they have come round to it. Starting to get nervous myself about the move but hay ho life's to short and I all was say here for a good time not a long time .Dont want to sit back in Scotland in 20 odd years say wonder what would off happened if we had moved to Australia . If we find it's not for us after a couple of years we can come back to Scotland. Let the adventure begin . cheers

Moving out to Melbourne at the start of June and wondering anyone can tell me if my HGV class 1 licence is transferable or do I have to resit a test. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks
