But surely one tin of the dry stuff would last you about 10 years anyway?

If your bringing over any electrical stuff from the UK, buy as many converters (i.e. british to Oz plugs) as poss. I brought 8 over with me and use the lot since I have settled in my new home.

why not just change the plugs when you get here-much cheaper?

Or, bring one british plug strip with 5 or so British plugholes on it, but change the plug on the end of that so that it is Australian.
Then you have Australian power supply for British plugs.

Easy innit?!!!
