Hi there,

Stephen here from Irisharoundoz.com. Firstly welcome all new subscribers!

I have just published a moving to Australia checklist that you can read here. 

Latest updates:

1. I have some new updates I wanted to share with you. I have partnered with Study Destination for Student visas: I can’t recommend Study Destination any higher! With their 99% visa approval, they are the best at what they do and will help you achieve your dream of studying, working, living, and travelling abroad! Get a free consultation here. 
2. Hungry? If you are in Australia, Hello Fresh has sent me over a $140 voucher to use. If you don't know, HelloFresh delivers step-by-step recipes and fresh, pre-portioned ingredients right to your door. Based on your food preferences. I used them for a while, saving so much time and money than running to the supermarkets.
