Hear hear. We did not have an expense account but being on holiday does offer a different freedom Long and short of it all is we cannot afford Australia in the long run. Don't know if it is the same for all states but houses are very expensive, job security appears to be non existent and healthcare as we get older becomes quite unaffordable.

Thanks for all the welcome guys. Cairns is lovely @TPQ. We were there in July and did not want holiday to end.

We are in Melbourne at the moment

Hi. Just wanted to introduce myself. We came over last year and are making plans to move back next year. I am hoping that this private forum will be a "nicer" one than the main one

Wow, that is a huge range. Thanks chardy

Thanks. Did you have sole use? Just wondered as ours took 8 weeks coming UK to Oz.

Does anyone know what the average shipping times is from oz to UK? We are looking at exclusive use of container. Thanks.

They don't but I turned up at the airport with way over 20kg and they didn't bat an eyelid. Not 40kg but it was close to 30kg

Thanks Andy, that's really helpful

Do you know if there is a management fee in addition to the tax liability?

Oooo... Would be interested in knowing as well

Agreed, nay nay nay from me too!
