Anyone emigrated to Australia
As the title.
I have a job offer in Brisbane and seriously thinking about taking over the family for a few years [3-4 years].
The thing is I have no real ideas about what's involved. We're seing a financial advisor soon but there are so many things to think about.
The company will pay for basic relocation costs- air fairs, shipping house contents etc. I have no idea what the cost of shipping would be.
Has anyone gone through the experience and can give some handy tips.
Cheers
Roo

Oh, you'll need one of these, with a pair of flip flops.

From what I saw on TV a few months back I thought Australia was even worse than hear for its anti performance car policing. I heard they have changed the law so that private companies can set speed traps and catch you. They even have helicopters that do you from the air...

Even this place quotes £2300 for a container to Sydney.

I haven't heard of private companies setting speed traps. And checking speeding from the air has been done for ages but is very very rare, if done at all.
They used to do it in NZ on the motorways - big white marks across the lanes and then they'd get an average speed reading.

Cheers fantastic feedback.
Gonna do it regardless.
Already tried to get me feelers into the scooby crowd in Brisbane but Rexnet don't allow hotmail addresses :susp:
Jay, when you moving to Brisbane.
So much to think about though, even childtrust funds etc.
