Thanks Ron,
We should have the KITAS paperwork going through at the moment.. first week of the process so far. and yes we do have our son linked to our KITAS.. wouldn't want to leave him behind..haha.
We will establish a local bank account, but were looking to have a few more aussie banks on our side also..
as for the travel insurance.. we are looking to get a Commonwealth Bank Mastercard (Platinum).. this one does have a 12 month travel insurance that come with it.. as long as you purchase the full amount for the return tickets with the card. As for the "free" insurance.. it does cost $au200 per year to own the card...I will put a link to the CBA page that describes some of the features.. We also have looked at some of the VISA cards and the max coverage is for 6 months..
I'm a bit disappointed to hear that a decent BBQ may cost so much, but I'm sure we will find the solution.. as for the BBMate.. it is in the "to go" box right now.. I am also on the hunt for a few crab crackers and prawn peelers.. I can sense a large increase in the amount of seafood coming on.
cheers mate, thanks for your help
