Just put TBA, and give an email address like hotmail or yahoo.
Once you get here, you can let them know, assuming you are arriving in advance of your stuff.

We gave them an address of someone we knew but told them that this was not te delivery address. As long as the address is not too far from where you will be moving to it should be OK.
This will only work if you have your house/rental sorted before your goods get here.
Good Luck

You need to specify a port as a minimum eg Fremantle/Perth

Re: shippers wants Ozzie Address for our stuff....
The Aussie Customs computer system does require an address (a PO Box is not sufficient) and the handling agent in Australia will not be able to make a Customs entry for you without one. At worst case scenario, this can lead to a large fine for the handling agent if they do not submit your shipment details to Customs before the carrying vessel arives at the first Australian port of call on its voyage.
That is why your UK shipping agent will be reluctant to load your shipment until you can provide an address. Any address where you can be contacted - e.g. friend, family, employer, hotel etc - will be sufficient.
