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?

    Seems everyone else has covered your main questions so I thought I’d add a few things from an Aussie who’s visited the US a few times:

    • our Coke is more like Mexican Coke
    • our chocolate is different
    • our licorice is better and plentiful (try the bullets)
    • we don’t have orange chicken
    • we have chicken sushi though (it’s cooked, don’t worry)
    • mint slice biscuits > thin mints
    • there aren’t as many flavour varieties for drinks/snacks here, also our chip packets are coloured different
    • it will get hot in summer, and I mean hot, so make sure you have air con or something where you’re moving to, it can get over 100°F
