M&KC

good to hear. we have just had some bad news though. our langwarrin air bnb host has just cancelled out reservation and taken his property off the site so we have just had to emergency rebook to stay in Eltham initially. Well still be coming down to langwarrin to take a look around though so thanks for the local advice.

Thanks again. When buying a car, it'll probably be used to save money when we first get there until I find work. Is there anything specific I need to know? Do they expect a degree of haggling in the used dealerships? I am thinking for something like a ford focus with 50,000 km on it initially as the mrs has had them for years and is comfortable driving it.

Thanks for the advice, that's great to hear. Realistically its likely ill have to work in Melbourne main city / CBD area. Would you recommend train or car? Do you know what the commute is like from Langwarrin?

Me, the Mrs and our dog Monroe will be landing in Oz on the 4th January 2019. We are booked for the first month in Langwarrin at an Airbnb. I am looking for advice on how to handle our first few weeks, places to find a rental that will take our dog also, getting a car, tax, medicare etc etc . All advice welcome.
