thanks for the replies

i was going through the list of what ought to be declared, and i saw a section saying that  used sportswear i.e shoes that you bring have to be declared as well to check for possibility of trapping contaminated soil on your shoe, this is the first time i came across such rule, just wondering does anyone here really do declare their shoes?

Gah!!! How do you pack for yourself, your brother and his gf and still stay within the limit of 30kg?

Anyway, I'm going to post a checklist here. Experienced packers please advise.

Been in Melb for 3+ years already. Avoid bringing in food if you can. Cause if you do, you could get fined, or worse, end up on Border Security the TV show.

oh well, i'm taking QF back this time though. one way ticket, cheaper by about RM 500 compared to both MH and SQ heh

oh yea, you'd be best answering MildBluese's queries on Perth as you're studying there

Anybody know what's the difference between vline and metlink tickets for the tram ?

Can I use either one for the trams/buses in melbourne ?
