For all you that have already done it, how long did it take for you to get your stuff back?

Thanks guys,
Our stuff is going on its journey on the 29th of this month. Its all come round so quickly!
Another thing I was wondering was, heading out to the uk we had to be really carefull about cleaning the bike shoes etc, didn't even bother to take the lawnmower! So, is there anything that i shoud worry about heading the other way?

Cheers, thanks for that! So the second hand lawnmower can come with us!
Have any of you brough back any unexpected stow-aways in your container?
We brought back a strange looking spider when we went to brisbane for a holiday a couple of years back. I don't think they will last long 'cause of the cold weather.
The though of bringing a cockroach back ugh! Hate them, hate them, hate them :scared:
One think I will be happy about is not having to worry about the bugs anymore, I never venture into the garage here. And, not having to wear tons of insect repellant is a plus for me
