Hi Moneypenny,

Why in particular would you not bother bringing new fridge freezer are they equivalent price or different in some way??

Call me silly and ignorant (and you will) but wouldn't a vacuum cleaner need to be specially cleaned (I realise the wierdness) before it was let in ... y'know bugs and all that?

(edit) <Google> Ah, all it says is make sure they are thoroughly cleaned ... the things you learn ...

Is it better to change the plugs before moving out to Oz?

I've never seen them in the UK and certainly never seen British ones here because why would you? You can get the travel adaptors. It's sort of like wanting to spend Australian Dollars in the UK, it wouldn't get you very far.

You can get Australian plugs/adapters from www.Korjo.com website. They are quite expensive, but good quality apparently.
