Flights - not yet but I need to get a move on for mid june. I'm still trying to find the best deal (& work out if I can be bothered to ship anything over) as I'd like a stopover to break up the distance. Spoke to qantas today but they only allow the 40kg allowance if you book one of their 'special' £700 + taxes ONE WAY migrant fares!

Freshwater - yeah that's basically north manly I think. Trying to hunt down something close to the cbd, short term for the first month or so to give me a chance to look around before commiting to a longer rent. Nice dilemmas to have though...

Let me know how you get on with flights?? Got anyone out there who could book them for you? Apparently cheaper?? There is also a shipper who do £99 "teachests" if your only taking a small amount.

PS What exactly does CBD stand for :rofl:?
