I see that I got the figure of 10 from a local plug board rating. Also I note that the plug adapters (multinational-to-Oz) are rated at 6 amps so don't try to run any kind of kettle through them. Cor and I thought televisions were going to be the biggest problem!

6AMPs is ony 1.4KwThe fuses in our mains box are rated at 20Amps for the power circuits, and 10 Amps for the lights
It makes it all sound rather bad ! But everything works OK, and we haven't had a power trip for ages.

A 5 year diary, started before you leave.
Looking back is amazing, every family member been through every emotion, every stage although not all at the same time
funny too what you write and what happens in reality. Plus lists what you want to achieve, then what people say down the track its great reading.

Hot water bottles
Don't throw out your thick quilts bring them with you. The nights get cold here at times.

It depends on the network and the original contract under which you bought the phones.
I got two phones unlocked a few years ago in the UK - the network was Virgin Mobile and they didn't charge (at the time, not sure about now) or make any fuss - but it was necessary to get the code to make the phones work on another network.
