We are heading for Sydney for the first year and then we will see if we want to settle anywhere else. We want city life for awhile. Then we will probably move out to the suburbs or to another city.

Okay - I'm going to suggest that you'd all move onto the thread - "Who's Irish and posting on BE" - otherwise someone's going to get left behind - that way we can all keep in better contact - are you all up for it ??????

Irish Gal

Great idea!!!

Mairead

Hi Irishgal. I contacted Eastgate. They seem very professional and we will definitely be using the to ship our stuff. Thanks for info.

Irish Gal

That's good. I'm booking them for the 15th May House is full of boxes. I'll let you know how I get on. We're hoping to give our stuff a 6 week headstart.....


Have borrowed old furniture from friends to cope and will be buying kettles, cutlery, ware, etc when we get there

Hi there Irishgirl.

Can you recommend a good source for the boxes.

I think that we will need quite a few.

Hows it going? Did you get your tracking number from the doc? I'm still waiting on it. Got no update at all. I'll have to call again today.

Mairead

Keep on top of them KN. Mine had lost ours until I gave them a gentle push

silverski

Hi there,

Could not contact them by phone, so I drove into donnybrook, and later on yesterday afternoon, I received a text with the tracking number.
Went online alst nite and found the package.

Will wait now till I receive an email from LCU.

Fingers crossed.

Hey fellow-Irish

We are in Bray, Wicklow - headed to Sydney and have our visa but not sure when we will go. We are selling an apartment in France but so far no interest in it, its really frustrating... we are now thinking of just going but with **** all money... have some debts to pay off too but just want to be on our way or at least book the flights!!!

Best of luck to everyone, we were in Australia before for the 1 year WHV and loved it - can't wait to get back...

Thanks. I spoke to the doctor just now and he told me that there was a strike in the Ballsbridge sorting office (sorted now haha) and so he didnt receive my x-rays. Have to wait another day or two for them. Theres always something isnt there?

Irish Gal

Yes! Have you started this? Must be blind as I can't find it yet

Melbourne

Started it last week - think it may have been moved - will we all start another - totally new one ?

What will we call it ?

Melbourne

Silverski - did you say you're in Wicklow too ?

sarskis

I had the same problem - Ballsbridge backlog and that was weeks ago but it got back to him in the end and all went off okay... he sent it by registered post though and it took a month to get to LCU...
