Well we've made it, we're here looking forward to Christmas Day - beach in the morning I think.
Customs were a bit of a mare due to shippers listing most of packing as a box.
Never mind we're here!

You can get some cheap ones - or get a cooler box, drinks, salads, cold meats and spend the day on the beach if it's not too hot - not forgetting to write Happy Xmas in the sand for the photos on FB

Welcome to Aus.

You'll also need a cricket bat and ball for backyard/beach cricket.

Thank you, it would have to be beach cricket as the rental hasn't got much of a back yard..
Still plenty of open spaces around
