Agree that the magpies are a bigger problem! (thankfully only for a couple of months a year).

They are few and far between and you'll only see them very occassionally unless you visit Brissybee's house.

We have been quoted £995 for 175 cubic feet from Doree Bonner International. They're the cheapest yet and so helpful. We're not taking furniture as we didn't pay alot for it and are renting our UK property out for the first 2 years. We are taking 2 cats and it's costing us £2500 for everything. Flights quoted as £1200. I get $5000 from my employer the day I start for relocation costs. We have a subsidised apartment for 3 weeks. We then plan to get a short term rental fully furnished for 2 months.
We will then look for an unfurnished property and use http://www.fantasticfurniture.com.au/home to furnish it.

They may be everywhere where you are - but they are not everywhere here.
I've lived in Sydney for over 30 years and I wouldn't see one huntsman a year.
I can count the number of red backs I've seen in 30 years on one hand.
I've never seen a funnel web (neither has anyone I've met) and I've never seen a white tail.
Maybe you have a problem with them, where you live - but they are definitely not everywhere.
I am telling the truth.

With regards to furniture it says wooden items must be treated! Is that dining table and bed frames etc? Treated how aswell, For wood worm?

As in you can't bring over basic home made untreated furniture. Pretty much all indoor wooden furniture you buy from a store is treated but some outdoor is not, anything that has been varnished or stained is usually ok, but, if in doubt......spray the bugger!!

We have some expensive wooden kids beds but they are painted, and the dining table is stained/varnished..

Australia is very concerned about old wooden furniture and antiques but more so from Asia than Europe.....I mean go figure, antique European furniture has lasted a few score or hundred years already so any wood lice would have to be bloody good to ruin that stuff!
Ensure all wood is varnished/painted and any outdoor items are thoroughly cleaned and all traces of dirt removed. Don't panic, just use common sense and all will be OK...oh, hold on, I'm talking about Australian bureaucracy here aren't I...PANIC!!!
