Emma Newby Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 don't know which is scarier, moving to Oz or navigating this site.... any tips on moving around, have a billion questions and searches are pulling billions of answers, most not relevant....? I bet there is a training section on using this somewhere....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Newby Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 thank you... having a gander at the mountains of information available.... mine is mostly about dogs.... shipping them and finding accommodation on arrival... but I'm sure I will get the hang of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 thank you... having a gander at the mountains of information available.... mine is mostly about dogs.... shipping them and finding accommodation on arrival... but I'm sure I will get the hang of it Shipping dogs and finding accommodation is pretty straightforward. You find a pet shipper to walk you through that process, plan in advance, a good seven months. Finding accommodation is not too bad either, unless you have three very large dogs say, then it could get tricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Newby Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Have friends in Melbourne, so first 12 months will be there.... long term, I am looking at Newcastle, whilst the OH is looking for Wollongong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Melbourne will be the only quarantine station from 2016 and there will be no visits or dog walkers allowed, which sucks but it's only 10days now so I guess they'll survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 thanks, but can't find anything about the quarantine, some say you can visit, others say not.... google isn't helping Visiting was perfectly possible a few years ago, I am not aware than anything changed but it might have with the new quarantine rules. But it is only ten days now and to be honest, think hard about visiting anyway. Might be good for you, but it might not be so good for your pet, who doesn't understand why you came to see him and then left. My pets suffered enormously after our visit, they had been ok up until then but were very distressed that we left them behind after visiting. Have friends in Melbourne, so first 12 months will be there.... long term, I am looking at Newcastle, whilst the OH is looking for Wollongong. Moving is one of the big stress factors in life, I am not sure I would put all my effort into moving to one place, settling in, finding new jobs, starting to build a life, with the intention of moving on after a year. Why not have a good think about where you want to be and go straight there? If that is not Melbourne, well it is easy enough to get there for visits to see your friends. Is your visa sorted?

Emma Newby Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yeah, we applied 7 years ago and it came April 14, activated it last Christmas. Just can't wait to get out there and find our feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
