As we are getting nearer to our departure day for Sydney, we wonder if we are missing anything important to pack? At this moment, we filled our suitcases with clothes. We are also taking mobile handsets and electrical converter plugs. Don't know if its a good idea paying extra baggage allowance to carry cutleries, ceramic ware etc. What are we forgetting?

I wish I'd taken about a million dollars over. It would have made life so much easier.

Will put that on the top of my list!


Next is undies! I've heard they are very pricey in Aus so I'll be bulk buying i Primark and M&S over the next few weeks!

No, its not worth it for cutlery and ceramic ware.

I wish I'd brought all our woollies and big coats. Obviously it depends where you're headed, possibly you wouldn't need them in FNQ - but I could have done with them in SE Qld and definitely miss them here in NSW!!

[edit] Just seen your location.. okay, its possible you don't have woollies to bring with you

I don't wear undies, hehe....... just kidding.

I was skeptical about bringing my big coats..... but now that you have mentioned, I will pack them in as well. Thanks.

A million dollar would make life easier in any country, lol. With the level of prices that I hear about, I don't think even a million will go very far in Oz.

Holly Willoughby.

I miss her and her over-sized knockers.

Agree with Dreamy, if you are coming to Sydney (or Melbourne) you definitely need coats, jumpers etc. I rather stupidly left all mine behind and really regretted it (and have not managed to replace coats/jackets with anything as nice here).

Aye I only brought a thin raincoat and one thin jumper. Have had to buy a hoodie since but really looking foward to my big warm ted baker coat turning up here soon.

Power strips/power boards?

A return air ticket

whinging pom cancelling headphones

They got em at Dick Smith if you're interested

Cool. Cheaper in the UK though surely?

Everything is cheaper in the UK.
