I remember reading a post on here a few months ago regarding shipping some boxes over to Oz from UK, and I cant find the post! I have a few things left that I want shipped over but not sure of the best company to call. Also, would they box up the bits when they came to collect, or would it need to be done prior. If the latter is the case do they send the packing boxes to you? Thanks for reading this and hopefully someone can help as this needs to be done fairly urgently.....:wink: Nikki x

Hi,wondered if anyone knows of any good sites to check out prices on various household items.We were planing on starting afresh and buying all new when we get to Oz.This was due to most of our stuff being old,second hand or on its last legs.(new life and fresh start and all that).It seems most people wish they had taken more over with them.I definately dont want to buy furniture over here but am thinking maybe fresh towels,bedding,kitchware etc.If i buy stuff here i have to add the shipping costs so im not sure which will work out the best option.Thanks Ebstar

Hiya, I know some of this has been covered in another thread but I specifically wanted to know if anybody has tried to import a motorcycle in bits. I have an old 1978 Z650 that was my wifes pride and joy until it started to fall apart. To cut a long story short it is stripped to it's component parts but we would like to take it with us so it can be rebuilt in the sunshine:biggrin: We have all the docs and many boxes of bits. Cleaning it will not be a problem but I'm struggling to find a section with the information about importing it as a box of parts. Any help much appreciated. Kev

Corio Norlane All the Cheap bits in Geelong...is everyone being a big jessie?
Guest posted a topic in Victoria
Firstly Hello all, I am a new member and would like your take on a question I have re the cheap bits of Geelong. I have come into a wee inheritance and am in a position to either buy a wee weatherboard house outright or make some serious inroads on a brick house somewhere in Geelong. Basically I have no where near enough money to buy in Melbourne and would rather be in a nice wee city like Geelong than out in the the woop woop suburbs of Melbourne. People seem to have a very dim view of Corio and Norlane and these sort of cheap areas but I want to know ....are they really that bad? To give you an idea of where I stand on this sort of thing. I am from Maryhill in Glasgow, have lived very happily in Hackey east london, Byker in Newcastle, Toxteth, Sandilands in Aberdeen and Saint Kilda Melbourne. The last one being Vale Street Saint Kilda, or hip deep in junkies and hookers. NOw I never considered any of these places particularly rough, in fact the only place I have ever been burgaled was Saint Kilda and that was in no way rough in my book. So, are Corio and Norlane and the like really rough areas or are the people who pour scorn on them big jessies? I'm a single bloke no kids so maybe that colours my view of the matter? I look forward to your input, so thanks in advance -

My oh has secured job on 457 we have had meds just waiting for visa and we maybe have a buyer for our house. Sounds great but I have two children (13 &11) 13 yr old doesn't want to go and leave her friends etc but we have told her she is going no matter what we will try for a year and if she really hates it will come back. The 11 yr old has allways wanted to go but has now startted to change his mind as he is due to start high school in September and is really looking forward to it. If we didn't have any kids I would go tommorow. This has now seriously started me thinking are we doing the right thing, What am I doing to them etc. My o/h has allways wanted to live in Australia and its a great business opportunity for him too. He says they will be fine and I know deep down they will adapt its just so hard to see them being upset. If only I had a crystall ball. Anybody else felt like or feeling like this. Mel

I found a Great story on this Interweb thing today, what do you all think? Can us Brits compare with this? We beat them at the Rugby, but can we crush a can with our thrupenny bits??? What you reckon Boy's can us Brit girls compare or not? Barmaid who crushes cans with breasts speaks out A BARMAID who crushed beer cans with her breasts has described a police fine as a "farce", while her manager says she has now been forced to "go underground". Luana De Faveri, 31, was fined $1000 after entering a guilty plea without appearing in court to breaches of licence conditions under the Liquor Control Act. She was fined for attempting to hang spoons off her nipples and for while performing in a pub in rural Western Australia. Barmaid who crushes cans with breasts speaks out | The Courier-Mail Well I'm on the case, Can't say my little one's stand much chance, but where there's a will there's a way! :twitcy: Anyone know any similar stories to this? How are you Girls out there who have made the move holding out with such competition around ? All I can say is thank God it wasn't on the medical forms, because I think my Aussie dream would have gone up in smoke. I'm off down the gym now to do a bit of Chest expansion just in case I'm asked to try this test on arrival in Brissy. Maybe I should start carrying the cement or the bricks for Tony as well. God it's all a worry, so much stress. EMMY :notworthy:

Heard on the news last night that the upcoming summer is basically going to be the hottest and driest for a long long time. Something to do with winds from Sth America. Now personally I find it hard to believe that any summer could be hotter than last year's in Sydney, but if the report is true, that means temps of over 120F :shock: The other bit of news is the Gov is intending to raise the citizenship waiting period from 3 to 4yrs. Apparently this cunning plan will be the answer to stopping home grown terrorism :?: :?
