  1. Hi. yes. you have to number and label every box with its contents. E.g. Box 1 - cloths. Box 2 - CDs. Etc. yes. They will pick up from the self storage facility. I paid $1500 for a large cube. Oz to UK.
  2. -You may feel that you will never belong in Australia. - missing family. - lack of choice (food, cars, holidays, cloths, etc). - the cost of living. - it isn't Britain with sun - it can be perceived as being behind the times. We moved around the UK before we came to Australia. This helped as we knew who would stay in touch and who might not, and help use and others get used not being local.
  3. Leave on your UK passport. return on your UK passport and buy an ETA.
  4. If you have a UK passport you do not need to take the test. Unless you are using it to bump up your points score. if so, as a hairdresser it is the general test. Good luck.
  5. We had the same problem when we returned a couple of years ago. We asked several agents and had simialar responses to you. In the end. We found an empty property then offered to pay 3 times the deposit. Deposits are held in a goverment scheme. Unlike 6 months advance rent. So if the mortgage isn't paid you will get it back. We also has an offer from a private land lord too. So it can be done. Good luck.:wink:

    UK TVs

    In the UK I have a Sony brava with built in freeview which I purchased in australia. I get all the UK channels. The only small issue is that the TV guide shows the time in Australia.
  8. Should Austrlian criminals who offend in the UK be deported from the UK back to Australia after serving their sentence?

  10. hello Engrauyon, You will be able to research rental costs using domain.com.au or realesate.com.au. These will give you weekly prices. The estate agents are unlikely to let you a place before you land. They will expect you to view the property. Consider getting a short term (holiday) property for 2/3 weeks first. That way you can research (visit) the areas and see which ones meet you needs. Good luck with your move. Hotrod
