I'm interested mainly in the settling part of the book. Is it as interesting as it sounds? Do you know where I can get it online?
Can anyone recommand a good guide to help with the practical side of the settlement?
Thanx

Is this is the book by W.C Hampton?
If so I bought a copy at the last emigration fair in Sandown. It is quite useful as a reference guide, but you will find most of the topics are answered on here.
It has chapters on :
Research before you go down under;
Aus bureau of statistics;Aus newspapers;
what to take overseas;
International shippers and removers;
Customs;
Importing and keeping pets;
Importing vehicles;
Money transfers;
Tradesmen recognition;
identity documents;
medicare;
private health ins;
emergency services;
children and benefits;
education;
places to stay;
buying property;
and more.
Another good one is living and working in Aus and New Zealand and Carrianne recommended one a few weeks back.

Hi tinaj,
thanks for the info on the book. I will see if WH Smiths have it tomorrow morning.
I had "living and working in Australia" years ago and it planted the seed in my mind that I could live somewhere "better"

I'll have a look on Ebay to see if I can get it over here. They have absolutely nothing on the subject in the bookshops here. Seems that Canadians are definitely not interested by migrating to Australia

For anyone interested, I just found this site

They have many interesting books about living, working and traveling in Australia and NZ. Worth a look.
