Re: 8 days to new life in brisbane
Good luck with the saying of your goodbyes mate. Its not easy.
I am in brisbane too and i also used whites to ship my stuff.
Just make sure the toe rags at this end don't fleece you. They tried to get me to pay for customs clearance at this end even though i'd been told by whites that it was included in the quote. Just bear it in mind mate thats all.
Good luck and bring summat warm, cos although its great during the day, its still a bit chilly when the sun goes down.
Where are you heading exactly?
