Hi Eliasdaddy,

I believed u can convert your international licence to NSW license without going thru. the driving knowledge test or practical driving test. It is because UK is a country fall into as "recognised countries".

Pls. take a look http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/newtonsw/recognisedcountries.html

As for my husband, he was holding a HK driving licence and since it is not in the list so he had to go thru. both knowledge test and driving test.

Thanks to ngmammy! Do you know any good & reliable international mover?

My partner is from UK, so hold a UK driver license.   He converted his license last October.  No test, just $.

Thanks Mrs. Kangaroo!

I am coming in Oct. Do you think I have to register my son with school now (via Internet)? Or can I wait until I arrive.
Note: I will stay with my sister-in-law in Kogarah.

I think you would better to enrol the school for your son once you arrive au, just have an interview with the principal, fill in the form and you can start the school anytime you like.

hi, EliasDaddy

We have a quotation from two international mover but finally we gave up to use them.  We haven't move any furnitures from hk, we bought all the furnitures after we relocated back to au, although the furnitures here is quite expensive, we paid about HK$45,000 to buy all the new furnitures.  For the toys and books, I bought the "Multi Pack" boxes from the post office in hk, and packed all the toys and books in it, then sent by surface mail, it costs hk$375 and take about 1 month to deliver.  

When will you come to au?  How old is your son?  The weather is very cold in the morning and at night, may be I am still not get used to the cold weather, I have flu for twice after arrived here.

I will come on 2 Oct 2008 and I will stay in my sister-in-law's place in Kogarah. My son just became 9 years old (July 08). He will attend the same public school of his cousine.
I am sorry to hear that you got a flu for twice. Take some Propolis, you can get it from any Chemist. (It is very cheap in OZ. We brought some from OZ last time, it cured my son's hay-fever. My son's Dr. gave up to use Western medicines and suggest my son to take Propolis. And it really work for him.) and do more exercise. If you do exercise everyday and it will help. I start to practice Tai Chi eight months ago, it really help me!

Thanks for your advice!

I had vomit and diarrhoea two days ago, the doctor said may be suffered by flu.  My daughter was absent for school for two days as no one took her to school (need 15 mins walk).  How far is the school from your home?  

Are you being living in England before?  I lived in England for nearly 3 years, near Birmingham.
