...plus, does anybody know of a decent shipping company that won't break them in transit?

No, In Australia it's illegal to clip one's own nails without a license.

Re: Will my UK Nail Clippers work in Aus?
The clippers may or may not work, depending on whether or not they have the built in transformer required for the change in hemispheres. It really doesn't matter anyway since you will need to attend a 9 month course at TAFE to obtain a CertIII in Nail Clipping before you can use them. You're probably best not to attempt it before your licence comes through since I've heard there are hefty fines for clipping without one.

Yes but you will have to clip your toe nails upside down.
Also when the clippings flick across the front room, it will be in an anticlockwise direction so make sure your UK guests are made well aware.

Then when you ask, it is your fault for her moving them. Men apparently always fail to telepathically know where their wives have moved something to, despite the object being left in a position that you will remember!

Make sure you get the Mrs to suck your toes to soften them before clipping otherwise there is risk of jagged edge on the clipped toes.
Also, what is a good Australian beer to have whilst getting the toes clipped ?
I dont want to have to send her back to the bottle shop if I dont like it.

But make sure you don't have any fungal infections or she could pick up a very nasty sore throat ...........

Re: Will my UK Nail Clippers work in Aus?
Thanks everyone for your helpful responses. I wasn't sure if this topic had already been discussed before.
Seems I will have to rethink bringing them over with me:curse:
