Is $50k enough
Hi there all. Hoping to go to Melbourne Nov and am now starting to do some research.My question is this- Hoping to take $200k aus dollars with us to Melbourne and I am wondering if $50k aus dollars is enough to start us off as I want a fair size of a deposit on a house.We are bringing over most of our furniture and stuff with us so the money would be used for the likes of a car, rent, some furniture new videos so the teles can work and other stuff like that. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings. We're leaving on 31st Oct, arriving in Melbourne on the 4th November. I've got two shipping companies coming round tomorrow and then another two more in a few weeks. I want quotes for a full container and a part container (depending on what we manage to sell beforehand). I'll post the quotes when I receive them.
By the way - it's Gold Cup in November and I've been sourcing accomodation for our arrival. Some places are putting the prices up so be warned!!!!
Cheers,
