Thanks so much for getting back to me. I will have a look at that. I have (well got the husband to) apply for just the telephone and broadband so at least we have the basics when we arrive. Will see if teenagers can survive without Foxtel and then probably subscribe later. Due to fly 26th July and feel more disorganised than at any other time. Packing and sorting what goes in excess and what goes in suitcase. Then straight into school and house viewing when we get there. Can't wait until we are settled and kick back , have a drink and relax for a while. I guess you have put all that in the back of your mind as you have been in Perth a couple of years now. Thanks again .

Do you know what your "bundle" is called. We are arriving 30 July and trying to decide (head hurts now) which phone/broadband/Foxtel way to go. We were quoted by Telstra for $260/month - for "T-Bundle Connector Pinnacle Entertainment bundle" which includes all Foxtel channels but not multiroom. The download was 500gb/month and unlimited local, std and mobile calls. I would like to try and choose a "bundle" that sounds just what you have got and for that price. So it would be helpful. I have looked at IINET but losing the will to live after trying to compare both. Telstra probably are a bit like BT and IINet a sort of niche internet provider from my limited expertise in all this.

I am going to speak with the bank. But really my query was about whether anyone has used the PARK MONEY option with MONEYCORP? Thanks for the advice - yes they are all tightening up!

We would want to transfer the entire amount which is way over the £10 allowed without having to personally show up at the branch in the UK. We will be in Perth so there so could not do that. We have sold our house and have the capital sitting in a bank account here in UK and want to transfer it to AUS. BUT the exchange rate is not good right now so want to wait a bit to see the rate improve before moving it. But banks want you to come into the branch to move anything above the online limit.

We are heading out to Perth 3rd week of July. I wanted to transfer our money before we left. I have signed with MoneyCorp and opened an NAB account.But now the exchange rate is dismal. So thought about waiting a bit to see if it improves. Problem seems to be this: I have been told that UK banks wont allow you to transfer more than about £10k online. You would need to front up to a branch for anything more. This would be impossible as we will be in Perth. I don't want to drip feed the money. Moneycorp have informed me that to get around this issue that I could "park" our money with Moneycorp until the exchange rate improves. Then when that happens move it then from Moneycorp. Has anybody else done this with Moneycorp? Any advice?
