Default Brilliant website for all those moving to Oz!!

I would like to take the credit for finding this site, but it was posted on another thread few days back and I as always I saved to Favourites and then last night was taking a look through the site, and I thought it was extreamly helpful and informative!!

I have tried to find the person that originally posted it to say thank you, but as always I cant get the SEARCH facility to work for me!! So if it was you that posted it Thank You!!

I am sure some of you have already seen it, but for those of you that like me hadnt here it is!!

Thanks for the link - have bookmarked it also.

Just some observations though -

House on market 12 months before you go?
Start looking at flights 6 months before you go? :scared:

Makes me look extraordinarily unorganised... or just normal, I'm not sure yet

Looks good, could have done with that before we came But have to say it would have scared the bejesus out of me. Had to laugh at some of the stuff you should do six months before - sort out belongings and put in piles I think that happened about one month before we left - two days before the container arrived.

Good site though if it reminds people what they need to do, even though the timing looks a bit sus
