New to Sydney

We arrived on 30 Jun 09 and for the next 2-3 weeks we had to restart our lives in this new land. We landed with only personal belongings and clothes, no furniture, car or other stuff. Only those within our 20 kg limit MAS flight was with us. All 4 of us, wife, 2 kids and me. Over the next few weeks, we had to rent a place, buy a car, enrol in school, buy white goods, furniture, winter clothes etc...and now on 1 Aug 09, I must say we achieved all of those with some hiccups, one of which is our mobile internet which is still unresolved due to the location of our home.

Once we get a permanent internet which we can log on at home, I can blog the details of our experiences for all to share on how we achieved a new home in a span of 2 weeks, including sorting our schools, car, medicare etc.

On the internet, I've just filed my first complain to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman today to terminate my mobile internet which does not cover my home.

So far, most things have been fine with us with only one costly mistake of A$400 made and other smaller mistakes made in our bid to make our home reasonably livable in a 2 weeks timespan.
