Hi

I am from Brisbane and my hubby is from Sydney (we sea freighted from London and would do it again back to oz)

We have met lots of people from Melbourne and while most flew their stuff over all agree that they will probably sea freight it back.

Do you know how much your employer is going to pay for your personal effects, ours paid for 300kg by air but we got to bring double that by sea freighting it.

Most of what you need is available here including furniture etc even vegemite is here but very expensive. If you would like any questions answered re your move please feel free to message us and we will help in any way we can

Better sell in Melbourne and buy new inhere

The price might be almost the same but the quality is better
