My apologies for spamming questions. Oz is just enough different from the US to make the transition a bit complex.

We managed to score a rental in Mcdowall.

Looking at the plethora of providers.

Are there any providers to be avoided at all costs? Providers that are totally awesome?

I’d prefer to have the highest speeds possible, and the NBN thing says the place we will be renting has the hybrid fiber coaxial connection available.

We have a 2 hour layover in Sydney before our flight to Brisbane. We need to get through customs from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in less than 2 hours.

Any tips on speed running this thing?

So, we make landfall in about 18 days. We’re effectively starting fresh.

I absolutely will need at the minimum a basic coffee maker to assist me in remaining human. We’ll also need a ton of usb wall adapters.

We’re planning on taking it easy the day we land, but we’ll hit the ground running hopefully the day after.

Initially we’re staying in Stones Corner, but we’re also open to exploring.

Where do you recommend for picking up basic home goods to get up and running?

My kid brought this home from their school library today. Way out here in the desert southwest of the United States. I think it’s a neat piece of Aussie culture that I did not expect to find here.

My question is: does this book hold any particular cultural cachet for Australians, similar to like the Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle or others?

We’re working on setting up the ability to spend money easily in Australia. We’re looking at Wise for transfers and starting to live in Aus. As we roll into collecting pay, are there any banks or credit unions that are recommended or actively discouraged from using?

Accepted a job in Brisbane. Moving from the Southwest US.

Apparently Grace Removals will be shipping our stuff.

We have a kid that’ll be eligible for 1st year in January. Public or private school?

How did the housing market get so bonkers?

Am I going to have to bring extra ketchup through customs for my kid, or is the tomato sauce close enough to make an easy switch?
