Remember to consider the cost of buying all the furniture and stuff in Australia - would you be able to buy everything for a new house in Australia for the same amount of money?

Update we have desided to drasticly reduce the amount of stuff we are taking and now have only one quater of a 20f containers worth going and been quoted about £1600-1700 for that.
The £2300 saved will pay of the items we are leaving pluss we will sell the stuff and get some £ for that.
Ikea here we come (well next year anyhoo )
