  1. Has anyone tried swapping houses, we have a house in Ellesmere near Kingaroy Queensland. 3 bed furnished,vehicles excetra. 9acres ,Wanting to move to UK would sell complete for $240,000 or $225,000 empty on extras. Or consider exchange. For 2/3 bed house UK.
  2. Probably a strange question but I am totally clueless when it come to tech. My moving company want my mobile number on the boxes as I won't have a landline. My phone is UK but I'm moving to Aus next week(EEK!) my mob starts with 07 sometimes it drops the 0 and starts 447 what will it be? and will it differ for people phoning from UK and those in Aus? so do I drop the 0 and add the prequel code for Aust whatever it is?
  3. Good for you, we have had our house sale fall through twice! now it has sold again but in a chain we are all sorted but the person buying my purchasers house hasn't gien their four weeks notice on their rental yet and we have to be in aussie 14 Dec! may have to go byself and hubby follow not the best start. Que sera sera.
  4. Is there a cut off age both my kids are at high school do they need to show proof of vaccination before they can start? also both have had chicken pox they have the scars to prove it! will they still need to get vaccinated?
  5. Thanks Ahmad for the really helpful response. This appears to be for that airline only as china or saudi arabia aren't options but will see it other airlines do similar.
  6. I never heard of this before but my mum said it was on "Rip of Britain" that if you get connecting flights you have to have Transfer visas for the countries you change planes in. Is this true? surely that would just be if you intended leaving the airport. Not sure of route yet neither change at dubai or paris then china. We are on mixed British and Australian passports. Please advise.
  7. Be careful with waiting till later non dependent children can't go the 17 year old might struggle now as they'll soon be an adult. Also if you wait the 14 year old will have less time to settle in an Aussie school.
  8. Not far wasn't planning on taking her as trying to rehome but been blind and on a special diet struggling. We are planing to move as soon as the house sells hopefully this summer unfortunately this means we are way out on timings having only had her rabbies done and passport issued the other day and needing 7 months. Fortunately my stepson has said he won't take her perminantly but will look after her to send her out to us. We have tried loads of dog charities and the vet did give us somemore to try.
  9. yes she is unfortunately she went blind after an eye op and has had to have her eyes removed. she can only eat Minced rabbit we are trying to rehome but not having any joy.
  10. Is there a service that can collect your dog from Quarantine and deliver to your home. We'll be about 2500-3000 miles from Quarentine and I'm sure other people will be even further from Melbourne.
  11. My dog is on a special diet of minced Rabbit are Quantine able to cater for this?
  12. Hi not in oz so can't comment on price of items but look at a few schools in the area you want to locate too. I've looked at about 6 schools in Queensland and they all specify black lace up plimsols don't know if it's the same in Melbourne but got to be cheaper than Clarks.
  13. I have a similar kind of question just proving I know nothing about computers but do you need to change your Email? or just part of it? I'm with yahoo and my email ends .co.uk. will this change automatically?
  14. It's a very stressful time for you both. He's probably just worried that seeing your family will change your mind or at the least make it a harder more emotional time for You. He might feel guilty about dragging you away from your family even though it is a decision you made together, He still might feel like the bad guy. Take care Air hugx
  15. we Have ours done at Max spielman make sure you tell them it's for Australia. They Take your photo using a manual digital camera and them put the code for Australia into the photo machine. It cost £7.50 each and we got 6 prints but they took photos until we were happy much easier with children.
  16. I have had a courteous reply from seven seas apologising but stating in my case door to port only available on move cube.
  17. Well I've been on the site for about an hour looking for where it lists the cities and can't find it. But if your quote lists the place your going you're ok. I orginally asked them to clarify that it isn't door to door service other than city destinations and they simply sent a quote for for door to port. I emailed them again yesterday to get a straight answer but not replied. I have done a quote for boxes now instead and this is door to door and if I'm frugal with my packing cheaper.
  18. The online quote calculator gives 2 large boxes as £119...but the there's another charge in AUD that says chargeable at destination. For Tassie it's another £170ish !! Crikey , is it worth sending anything!? Don't say that you'e sounding like my hubby ! nothing but the clothes on our backs if it was up to him.

    schooling

    Try looking at a few school websites for the area you are looking. Also the type of school you want I found this very useful My daughter excels at spanish but all the schools I looked at either do Japanese, Chinese or German. I don't know if that is the same in WA but if he's good at language it might be a bonus to study an asian language if you do return to the UK he'll have a skill his peers won't
  20. Are you going to one of the main cities through and are you taking boxes or using a move cube?
  21. I was going to use Seven seas their small move cube seemed perfect until I saw it wasn't door to door service. Unless you live in one of the main cities this would mean my belongings would still be 200miles away.
  22. fingers crossed for you, if seems to be a couple of days after police check submitted at the moment.
  23. Hi Thanks for that Fisher1, I'll give them a look
