We have quite a few small appliances and also our washing machine and fridge freezer we intend to take back with us as they are all good quality and i dont want to lose them, but obviously the Aussie plugs wont work in UK. Is it simple enough to just change the plugs to UK ones or would i need a few adaptor plugs like the travel ones? If this is the case where would i find them in Australia?

Hi Flea

I just bought adaptors in Uk when I was there.
When you heading, do you know yet??

OK. I must make sure i buy the right ones as i vaguely remember buying ones with the wrong socket fitting on the worng end once.. if you get my drift!
Still not 100% definite of dates but should be around Feburary now, but theres a slim chance i may go before my husband by a few weeks. Will how things pan out.

Hi Flea,

I have done this both ways. We took some appliances from OZ over to the UK and just used the adaptors. When we moved back to OZ with appliances we purchased in the UK, I just got my dad to change the plugs over, so I am sure you will be able to do the same over there. Then you will not have to have buy heaps of adaptors for all your goods. Hope this helps.

The travel ones work fine. You can get them from anywhere - airport, electrical outlets etc. Shouldn't be a problem.
