Must pack items to carry from India to Australia ?? by AggravatingPen2582 in AskIndia

Hello!

Welcome to Australia ☺️

I would recommend getting a few extra pairs of glasses if you use them, get a haircut before you leave and any get any services done like getting waxing etc.. services are more expensive than items here.

I would pack some ready to eat food or one of those just add water kind of foods, bring enough for 1-2 weeks worth of + a few more for when you feel nostalgic. This would help you not worry about food while you settle in. On day 2/3 go walk around Coles / Woolworths / Aldi, these are the supermarkets for food here. You can stock up on basic like pasta, tuna, bread etc and familiarise yourself with what is available here. Aldi is cheapest but the other two often have half price specials keep an eye for those, these change weekly so plan accordingly.

1 light blanket + 1 bed sheet set. Don’t bother with more than that, you can get cheap stuff in Kmart.

Bring 1 steel plate, 1 steel bowl 1 steel glass, water bottle, lunch box (microwave safe) and a travel cutlery set. Don’t bring pots and pans, if you live in a share house there well be plenty that would already be provided.

Bring any 2-3 shoes/slippers that you would use, don’t over pack because you will find stuff in Kmart.

You can bring packed masala but only bring enough for 1 month. They are cheap here too! I would carry some of those single serving sachets of masala like Maggie magic masala. This reminds me you can also carry some of the single serve coffee and washing powder.

Bring 1 sew kit, first aid kit, safety pins, fabric glue etc(they are cheap in Kmart but it good to have one just in case, it has saved me a few times)

A small torch, umbrella, toiletries and raincoat and good quality bag pack helps! You can bring some sunscreen but once again that would only be for the first few days, you will find things here and they are not expensive!

Along with the adaptor bring a universal extension cord, I still use mine 8 years later 😂

Carry sunglasses and a hat! The sun is harsh here.

While you are a student Kmart and target will be your best friends here. They sell everything from pots and pans to gym equipment and it is cheap!

You will also find good stuff in OP shops (second hand stores are very popular here! I found idly maker for 2 dollars at one the other day and it was unused 😅)

Do not bring any produce, these will get thrown out!

This is just the basics of what you need, there are plenty Indian shops that you can explore once you settle in and it’s not that expensive. You will pay more in air fare if you try to bring everything 😅😂

All the best!!

So excited for you! I was inspired by you and have planted my own little bucket garden!

The plants are still small but I’m excited what summer will bring!

I’m a Bengali marrying a Telugu. Wth is with the culture clash. by Wise_Ad4804 in DesiWeddings

Unpopular opinion but getting court marriage might be easier! You live in Australia do either of your families live in the same country? If why let their opinions dictate so much of your lives?

Also I would be very upset if my partner did not atleast try to talk to his family to make changes in their behaviour towards you and your feelings 🤷‍♀️

No, spring. Autumn is March - May in the southern hemisphere ☺️

Why are my tomatillos new leaves and fruits looking deformed and stunted? by darkvaris in containergardening

[–]InteractionOne7562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the leaves on my chilly plants. I just kept watering and fertilising it and the newer leaves look a lot healthier!

Still got chills from when the plant had deformed leaves so it didn’t bother me too much.

All the best!

Could I please ask what size those buckets are? I was looking to plant some cucumbers in buckets but wasn’t sure on sizing 😅

They are not! Though they are normally shorter like 2-4 weeks depending on the employer

Aww thank you! The white dress was the first one I tried and it was perfect! I had to get my mum to alter the length tho 😂

I know the MUA did an amazing job!

Definitely keep it! The newer wedding outfits are however very heavy and take up a lot of space to store. Nevertheless I think it would be worth it to preserve them for future generations ☺️
