Re: can my daughter get admission in primary school in age of 4 ?

Depends on when her birthday is and which state.

Unless it's changed since we came, in Victoria you can start in the January if your child turns 5 before the end of April.

Re: Travel Insurance - any recommendations?

Re: Anniversary Weekend in Vic

Inverloch's small but lovely and not too far - it's a shame you probably won't be there long enough to head over to Wilson's Prom while you're there.

Re: Emirates flight, 8 hour wait, any hotel?

Not sure about the other airlines but you can pay to use the Emirates business class lounge which includes showers, coffees, food, etc. Supposed to be well worth it for stays of 3 hours plus.
