Moving
to Australia
Australia is the
sixth largest continent in the world, yet it has the lowest
population density, with only two people per square kilometre.
In fact Australia's population is only 19.4 million (DFAT, 2001).
From the Sydney Opera house, to
Ayers Rock, Australia is a land of contrasts. Harsh
deserts to huge grazing lands;
sweeping
golden beaches, and exotic coral
reefs to mountain ranges; and tropical rainforests
to modern cities. It is renowned around the world for its
stunning
landscapes. Surrounded by the Indian and Pacific Oceans,
Australia is home to an abundance of animals and plants,
many of which are unique to the continent.
Australia is often
referred to as the "Lucky
Country", with its spacious surroundings, high standard
of living, excellent health and education system, temperate
climate, wide and varied landscape, political and economic
stability, and a general quality of life envied by many around
the world.
Australian
Culture
Although Australia
was not officially settled by European explorers until
1788, evidence suggests the land had already been inhabited
by Aboriginal people for more than 60,000 years. Nowadays
it is believed the Aboriginals are the world's oldest civilisation.
Just as the land is diverse, so are the people. Nearly
25% of the population was born outside of Australia and
have
ethnic ties with over 140 countries. This melting pot of
cultures range from the indigenous groups, to early European
settlement, particularly the UK and Ireland, to immigration
from countries across the globe, including Italy, Greece,
China, Vietnam, the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka
Moving to Australia
The appeal
of Australia is evident in the large number of people
who migrate under the Department of Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous
Affairs (DIMIA) Migration Program every year. Over 100,000
people will migrate to Australia every year for the next
four years, further enhancing the existing multicultural
population.

Moving companies
make the profits from packing large shipments. Because
of this most moving companies have no interest in small
shipments or do not offer discounts if you pack your
boxes yourself.
We are not
a moving company, we are an international SHIPPING company,
and we will work WITH you.
We specialize in small shipments and we welcome your self-packed boxes. The truth
is that customs DOES NOT require that boxes be professionally packed, as long
a detailed list of the contents of the box is provided. We also believe that
YOU will do a more careful and thorough job packing your items than will the
employee of a moving company.
