  1. Amazing news that you sold so quickly! I hope mine can go as smoothly. I still need to de-clutter before I put it on the market. I'm looking to put up the for sale sign early next year.
  2. I thought you had to wait two year after your "child" received their PR?
  3. Excellent news about visas! I wish I was joining you in Brisbane but it will be a while for me, yet.
  4. i use Moneycorp, too. If you go through this website to join its free transfers.
  5. I have a bank account with NAB which I opened when I was on holiday. It was very easy to do: I needed an address ( my son's ), a phone number ( my DinL was with me so gave her mobile ), passport and driving licence. I didn't even need to put in any money at the time!
  6. i used FedEx. I sent them on a Friday and they arrived Tuesday after. Cost £50.
  7. Good idea. I know sometimes know I went at Easter but that could be March or April so I hope they allow a month out.
  8. my passport hasn't been stamped for Europe and last time I went to Aus, at Easter this year, it wasn't even stamped then as I went through the lane that does it electronically.
  9. It's trying to remember all the holiday dates that is so difficult. I know all the Aus visits but European holidays are difficult.
  10. my son lives on the Sunshine Coast so I'm (eventually) headed there.
  11. If you you don't mind me asking: how much is health care insurance?
  12. I thought Medicare immediately and pension after ten years and it's means tested. Also some senior cards are means tested.
  13. I am presently in Aus on holiday so opened a bank account with NAB. Very easy!
  14. I'm in England with one son a PR in Australia with his Australian wife and two Aussie daughters, and one son here who refuses to go to Aus.
  15. i haven't got a 173. I'm going straight for the 143. I'm in England.
  16. I need to get in my application for a 143 but keep putting it off as I can't decide if I should use an agent or not and if I do which to choose. Any advice?
  17. Watch the tolls! I borrowed the little " thing " you put on the windscreen from my son when I went over the toll bridge near Brisbane but it must be connected to the car registration because they still sent a fine to the rental company who took it from my credit card.
