For those of you missing Amazon.co.uk- I order stuff and they supply VAT free as we are foreigners! - which counteracts the cost of postage. So ordering here is about the same price as ordering to UK (unless you qualified for free delivery!)

You can shop with Coles online out in Oz. Little bonus is that they automatically pack your shopping for you, if you try to pack it they look at you like you have a couple of extra heads..!!!

Can you explain the migration process to me?
Also I'm unsure when to put my house on the market. You've just sold yours, any advice?
