"It is important to pack the essentials when moving to Melbourne, such as an adequate supply of clothing for the climate, comfortable shoes suitable for walking around, sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses. Important documents such as passports, visas, and medical records should also be brought. If possible, it may be beneficial to bring a few simple kitchen items such as utensils, dishes and pots/pans. Electronics such as a laptop, phone, and charger are also recommended. It is also a good idea to bring a rain jacket and umbrella in case it rains. Finally, items such as an alarm clock, bedding and curtains, and a few homey items to make the space feel comfortable should be included," remarked another expat who made the move to Melbourne, Australia, Australia.
"Wish we brought: 1) relatives and friends 2) international newspapers 3) better choice of clothing Wish we left at home: 1) artwork 2) boxes photos 3) books," explained one expat living in Melbourne, Australia.
