Hi,

As an expat living in Australia, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along?

What are the items you can easily find in Australia? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive?

Share with us what you would recommend to bring in ones suitcase or container when moving to Australia.

Thank you in advance,

Christine

Women's clothes for work are really poor quality in Australia unless you are prepared to spend $1000 + for a suit.

Hi

Bring enough Australian $, leather and fashionable products. Basic products are easy to get here.

Stationaries and dried foodstuff especially imported are very expensive here. Clothes etc, you can get good deals at DFO where certain branded shops giving 60% or more. Also, its better to cook than dining outside. Good luck.

Most things are available here in Australia.
Be careful bringing food into Oz. Could well be confiscated at the airport along with a fine.
