Hi all, UK citizen - looking for private insurance and on 457 log stay visa. Called BUPA and they quoted this. I dont mind the health insurance, but still trying to understand the reciprocal cover charge which is 150 dollars a month. I would appreciate if you could help me understand this and if I do need this.

Hi guys, missed the previous give aways. Entered into empty house. I wondered if anyone is selling there TV unit and any sofa.

I have heard there is a group where we can join during sundays. I would like to join. Could anyone direct me please. Kind regards,

Hi all, that sounds wonderful.I would have joined but Fridays I work till 8:30. Hope to catch next time.

Thank you all for the advise personally and also myself looking into website stuff. 5 days to go. anxious as well as excited. starting work in 2 weeks. I hope 10 days enough to secure a car and long term rental. Wife and kid would follow once ground work done. Feels like I am already missing UK. Thanks once again. Kind regards,

Movers are coming next week, I noted white goods are abit pricey in adelaide. Wondering if its worth bringing washing machine/tumble dryer and dyson from here (all new). If so would it work there. anyone who have moved these things had any problems. Kind regards

Dear all, We are moving in October (myself/wife and 2 year old girl). I have a job to start with and I was looking for a property north of the city as my work is in burton. Wondering any thoughts on areas to live. I have looked in property websites and noticed houses in Mawson lakes. Any thoughts regarding this area. secondly, my wife is an software engineer - any IT related jobs in adelaide ( I note it looks grim there at the minute). A golf fanatic (rubbish handicap) and would like to join the weekend golf. Your help is appreciated. kind regards

Dear all, Would they tax on any household shipped goods. It sounds like a stupid question - I thought, I better ask.

Thank you snifter. I have looked at the costs and used a different site to calculate. I wont lose or gain anything as per my calculations. I just havent made any decisions. I did read PIO threads after you had advised for someone. Appreciate your resonable reply. I would stop now so, I do not drift away from what the thread was all about.
