Re: Need Advice .... Getting things to Australia from India Dear Alemu, Mixies etc are allowed.The best way to get anything right frm pickles & spices is to put a label (as in commercial masala packets).Whole spices/plant materials/fruits are not allowed. The best way to find out wld be visit the quarantine website: www.australia.gov.au/Customs_<WBR>&_Quarantine_for_Migrants I hope this helps, Cheers, Corallux

Re: Moving to Melbourne, Australia Hi Hema Malini, I can understand what you ar eundergpoing. Do not hold back any questions you have,just ask & I am sure there will be more experienced ladies who can answer your it. Australia has a policy of Multi-Culturalism. People go out of their way to make u comfy. Your child will assimilate quite easily here. Indians are there everywhere in Melb.Most Indian children start in govt schools & then go into private schools. Love, Lakshmi
