This takes quite a bit of time to do and a lot of stress, unless already an aus bank customer.
Ann-Marie paid for the flights last night £1,600+ non-refundable.
This morning got a phone cll from the docs regarding an x-ray taaken this week for my chest ( have had coughing fits for the last two months ), not looking good, could be nothing but have got to see a specialist early next week so stress is through the roof at the moment ( hence the drunken stupor ).
Bank account. VERY IMPORTANT !!!!
SORT IT NOW !!!!!!
don't suddenly sit there thinking " what else do we have to sort out.....................................Ohhhhhhhh a bank account........................" Fatal.

diagree slightly here.
the bank account itself is easy to open (we didnt do it before we moved to OZ but had one up and running with 3 days of arrival - ANZ - excellent service). The problem has been getting the credit card cos they want you to have a minimum annual salary. Now given that we were both being paid by our german employer for the first 3 months we were here and have subsequently decided to be people of leisure for the next xx months, getting an OZ credit card is very difficult, despite the fact we have loads of money in our OZ bank account.
