Will my UK television work in Australia and can I watch all my favourite UK programmes on it?
Do they have dogs in Australia?
I hate spiders, snakes, dingo's, lizards, noisy parrots and noisy birds - but I am moving to Australia, do you think they would kill them all for me?
If I get caught drink/driving/speeding, can I be let off because I am from the UK, after all the driving laws are stupid.
Can I buy my favourite sanitary protection here - I mean with proper wings, not the little ones, just like the ones I get in England?
Has anyone with children ever moved to Perth/Brisbane?
Has anyone ever in the history of man, ever brought their dog/cat/parrot/hamster to Australia?
Can I bring rotting meat from my own country to Australia, with lots of seeds, nuts and banned stuff that can cause diseases, after all I have heard you dont have food in Australia?
Can I bring my rotting, senile and incontinent mother here and will she get immediate aged care and someone to change her inconti pads and can I claim benefit for her?

I have heard that the flies in Perth will eat you alive, should I still come or should I allow myself to be eaten?
Do the hills 'roll' in Australia like they do in England as in Rolling Green Hills and if they dont roll, can I push them until they do? I want the laid back, out doorsy lifestyle, the sunshine and everything I dont get in the UK but if I can, I still want Next, Tesco, M&S and the Daily Mail - can I have this in Australia?

We are coming to Australia so the kids can have a better future. We're leaving two days before Brittany would be doing her GCSEs.

Will there be Kangaroos in my garden? We plan to live in central Melbourne.
We don't want to spend much money on a house but we want a sea view, to be close to town, close to good schools and on a large, termite free, block.
When will the exchange rate be back to 2.65?

We moved into our rental last week and it was a bit chilly. I went to put the heating on but couldn't find the radiators, what do I do?

I took out a rental house in Sydney whilst I was in the UK, having never seen the property I rocked up with my family and discovered it is a shit hole, I have paid in advance with rent, where do I stand, can I get out of the lease without financial penalty?
If I pay 10 years rent in advance, could I rent a house with my 10 children, 4 dogs, 2 cats and 11 parrots?
Do they have Roman ruins in Perth, because I do like my culture?
Do they have hospitals in Perth - complete with doctors and nurses?
I have heard there is no crime in Australia at all so I think I will be a lot safer and will be able to leave my doors open, windows open and everything.

Can a single guy survive in Coober Pedy on $200,000/year and what's the night life like?

Will my seriuosly obese and lazy kids turn into sports champs overnight just because we've moved to Australia? And Australian kids have not got x-boxes and playstations, have they, cos they all play sports and never stay indoors ever.
