Clothes for Jul/Aug/Sept
Hi All,
Only 2 weeks to go then we will be flying out. My boxes are arriving on tuesday just for shipping out clothes, books and CDs. My problem with that is that we do not have copy of Visa (am assured it will be here before we go) to show shipping company, will they still take boxes without it if we send it to them in next couple of weeks? Also what clothes shall i leave out to bring in our cases, we are flying via LA so are allowed 2 cases each, not sure what the weather will be like at the end of July and in august and sept, do i need jumpers, winter coats or will lighter items be better? We will be staying in Tapanuka for the first month then somewhere in Auckland after that. Please help.

Re: Clothes for Jul/Aug/Sept
Hiya. Hope all goes well with your move. I don't know about Auckland as we're in Christchurch and I think it tends to be warmer in Auckland but would suggest you bring clothes you can wear in layers, t-shirts, fleeces etc. Although it's winter here it's not quite the same as an English winter in that no-one seems to wear hats, scarves, gloves and heavy winter coats. We came out at the end of May, also via LA, and we packed jeans, jog pants, tons of socks, thin fleeces, thick fleeces, lightweight jackets, kids wear a lot of sports stuff - trackies etc. My kids, as most, just don't feel the cold and are pleased the don't have to wrap up so much before going out.
Maybe someone from Auckland will reply who can be more specific and helpful but hope this helps you a bit.
Good luck with it all. xx
