ship any good 240v, freedom shipping were the cheapest dont forget clean all tools down with disinfectant. Tats and a tail you'll fit right in with a few aussies, put yourself about youll get work, my boys got a 5 inch mohawk, school thinks its cool.

Not much in the way of 2nd fix in WA.Houses mostly double brick with built in steel door jambs and arcs.Quite a few dont bother with skirt.Majority of carpentry is hand cut roofs .I left WA and moved to Melbourne,all timber frame.Wood Butcher heaven.PS make sure you put sunblock on ya head.Best of luck
