Important To Do List in Melbourne
We are hoping to arrive in Melbourne in August of this year and would like to ask if anyone could help out with the important things to do on arrival there. By that I mean medicare and so on. We've got a bit of any idea of what's what but just want to check if we have forgotten anything. Any hints and help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Lorraine
