A bit of a daft question, but has anyone taken their hoover to Oz via shipping?

We were told not to take it because of quarantine, is this true or should we take it to suck up those nasty 8 legged things that I am going to be chasing!!! :scared:

Also has anyone got any views about Karingal primary school or St Johns primary, not sure which school to go for, on paper both look good....or is their another school hiding away that stands out more?

Thanks

I decided not to bring my Dyson because i thought it would be too hard to get clean enough for customs- however, I've heard plenty other people have brought theirs so it must be possible. I sold my Dyson to my neighbour for £25....and regretted it ever since.
In the 19 months we have been here I have managed to kill 2 cheap vacuums but bit the bullet last week and went out and bought a new Dyson.
My advice would be to find out how clean you have to get it to pass inspection. It might be that if it has replacable filters you just leave the old ones behind and give the rest a good wipe clean.

Now there's a contradiction in terms if ever I saw one...!!!

We brought ours - just emptied and wahed the drum - no problems when shipping over!
