Got to sing the Australian National Anthem at the swimming Championships today- thought I'd practise ready for the ceremony. Only got a couple of words the wrong way round, but why did I get so emotional???

Congratulations.
You are only two hours away from my house, in Aussie standard just 5 mins down the road.

How exciting, and here I am just ready to start looking into things. Hope things go well when you get there after what sounds like an amazing family holiday beforehand. :-)

Thanks everyone.
The shippers have now taken all of our worldly goods to Felixstowe, Mr Kapri has handed in his notice and the leaving party is arranged. Less than a month to go now. I have swung from feeling elated to feeling terrified and back again.

How long did your container take? Our shippers have told us that ours is sailing on Saturday and that it's getting into Sydney on 8th July. That's 6 weeks sailing. I expected it to take longer.

Its not the sailing time that holds most of them up - its the customs clearance time

Our container arrived in Adelaide on 29th April and was released by customs on 14th May. We had nearly every box opened because we had martial arts weapons to declare and some weren't in the box they were supposed to be in. We got our stuff delivered on the 16th

I think IIRC our container was 11 weeks door to door.
Packed up wk commencing 20 August 2012 and we took delivery on 6 November 2012
Nothing missing and no breakages DDs bike had a bolt that needed repairing but nothing to worry about
