Moving interstate or overseas - grab your dental, school, vet and medical records. WEEKS TO GO Redirect your mail well in advance. Use the online Address Notification Service from Australia post to save yourself bucket loads of time. 3. Start packing early.

It's unlikely you want to see your finest porterhouse steaks being feverishly flung to your soon to be ex-neighbour's dog on moving day. 2. Return videos, DVDS and library books. It's easier whilst you live in the town from which you rented them. WEEKS TO GO Arrange the disconnection and reconnection of electricity, gas, telephone, internet, pay TV and water in advance.
