I'm new to this site and thread.

Landed a job in Sydney. Did someone mention teacrates for £99 ?. Sounds good can I have the details.


I'm also taking the plunge and going on my own to Sydney so I'm up for any beers when I get out there (probably Aug if all goes to plan)

Cheers


:teeth_smile:

I'm headed for Sydney myself providing all goes to plan. Think there are one or two of us planning on coldie at the Coogee Bay Hotel sometime!

June the 8th might be tricky for me but I'll try and make it.

I finished my short story - hand it in tomorrow. Get life back on Saturday. The other little thing I had going on has not happened yet - as the Doctor is away for two weeks - so looking like the end of May now. However it still looks very positive and if all goes to plan I might even be there before you! :p:thumbup:

Going to get the lists posted on here up to tell me what to do next - no point reinventing the wheel:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Emirates apparently do double allowance for emigration I have read, but couldn't find it on website. Need to ring them. Would that do you??

Thanks for the reply. I'm liking this site, certainly helps. Where are you in/going in oz ?.

Anyway, fabulous prices. I was in a bit of a quandry about shipping some of my possetions for this august I think cheap crates fis the bill.In the longer term I'm planning to come back to UK next year and collect the rest via a big container (probably put my car in it too. cars seem astroninomical in price i oz !).

Thanks Neil

Sydney, northern beaches :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Running my car into the ground at the moment - but exhaust just fell off:thumbdown:
