GETTING ME GEAR OVA!
 
Busy trying to book me flight to oz but every time i mention the magical increased baggage allowance i hit a brick wall as i m not migrating properly,as im on a 457 visa ,tried every thing and dont want to turn up and try the sob story as i know i will be way over 20k. Obviously wont be taking all my gear but it will still be a fair weight,any one any ideas what the cost per kilo is extra, I wont need my gear initially for a few weeks,any info for sending it separate and cost? thanx,Noggin Of The Noggs

Hi mate, i came on a 457 visa. We flew via America so you automaticly get double baggage. Thats 46kg each. Not sure if you'v booked your flights but that could be the way to do it?
I went through all my gear and brought all my best stuff, wrapped it in bubble wrap and chucked it in the cases. Even put me 18v drill in, had no problems!
