Hi Mummies,
Need some advice from you. I will be going to Sydney and Melbourne in end Apr and early May together with my 19 months gal. I have been checking on the weather and it shows that it is very cold (below 10 degrees). Is it really very cold now? What clothings do you suggest is sufficient for my gal? Also, will Sdyney be on sale for autumn/winter clothings for toddlers? It is very difficult to get here in Sg. So thot of getting a few here and the rest, I will buy it there. For your suggestions and views,pls.
Thanks in advance!

hi,
Mothercare is having a 50% sale on their winter clothing. You may want to take a look. There is this winter clothing place at Kaki Bukit which is also having sales.
The weather in sydney and melb around that time is not that cold yet.Only the nights can get really cold. You may want to layer, since it may get warm at noon if you put on too much. However, I feel that it is very windy in melb.
I am going to melb again in June. And this is what I will be bring for my 2+ daughter. One thicker windbreaker, 2 pullovers (in case one get wet) and some mix of long sleeve or short sleeve tops. Pants, get thicker ones like denium. For me, I bought some long sleeve tops and some long pants from song & song, all less than 10. If you are lucky, you may find winter clothings from song n song for less than 20 dollars.

melb weather is crazy!! one min hot, another min can get very cold. so best is to wear layers... (take off & put on).. can always bring extra thinner version pullover =)... at nite, can be cold as its approaching winter. melb coldest period is may/june/july...
u may be able to get cheap jackets from target/big w.. not too sure what is the pricing now though.. last time (1.5years back) i could get below $10 for winter wear for baby...
but i shopped for my son winter wear (was in shanghai in early jan) at giodano's (about $10+) & winter time & market (for cotton long sleeved tops & pants) heez =) .. i bought those jackets that also can be used in sg weather, but wore like 4 layers in total... and the 5th layer is son tell me he is cold.. or 3 layer if he tells me he is hot...
hope this helps

Hi Mngo,
I'm using Virgin Mobile for my hp. You can check out the plans at www.virginmobile.com. Mine is the Bean Counter.. one of the cheapest in Aus. I was using Optus previously, but switched over coz of the better value...
For broadband, I'm using Global Dial ... which also handles our overseas calls -- the one that is similar to calling cards. We set up an account with them, and make calls to Sg at 2cents a minute. I believe they can accede to your request...
Do check with the other ladies to compare plans. They might have better deals

mngo,
I'm using Virgin prepaid for my mobile. As for broadband, our household is using iinet. But our plan is one of the business plan meant for huge amount of downloads and it costs over $150/ mth.
andrea,
You wanna try out ising www.pfingo.com to call back singapore? It costs 1 cent per min.

mngo,
so far i find vodafhone prepaid not bad.. connection wise & rates not bad.. i used to use optus post paid but it was rather ex, so i switch to vodafone prepaid, was under the $49 capping thingy... (www.vodafone.com.au)
as for calling card, i used to use APPLE (more ex but clearer connection) or GPS(i tink that e name)... $50 can use more than a mth for GPS.. forgot what is their rate...

i mistype.
i was actually telling hen/sarah and hopeac tat i will be headg perth.
when will u arrive? i'll arrive on 27th May.
Mummies... if your kids are in the day care in au, do they fall sick often?
Also... i have no idea if my boy's body can take Perth's winter? Just scared he will get flu or high fever.
Since going to GP needs appointment, how can we bring our tods to see doc if he/she runs a high fever on tat day??

mngo,
Kids are very adaptable. So far, my elder girl been spending winter in AU for the past few years, she's not afraid of the cold. She loves the cold weather better than the hot humid weather here.
Always standby medication at home, if high fever, give panadol every 4hr. Unless it doesn't subside, then you give the Dr a call.

hopeac,
You can get prima pastes in AU Asian groceries store. It's about $4.60 in Perth.
I had no problem bringing them in from SG last year. I think as long as they are made in Sg, chances of passing the custom is high. I brought the laska and chicken rice over last time. But after finding out that I can get all the flavours here, I can't be bothered to bring in from SG anymore.

Wolfberry (Gou Qi) can be found in australia, so don't have to bring from Singapore. It's selling about $20 AUD/kg. But I never have any trouble bringing wolfberries from Sg, neither any of my frens and relatives.
Ya Kun kopi powder can bring in. But 3-in-1 with creamer or milk made in Malaysia cannot. So for those who like kopi powder, can bring in some Ya Kun.

mngo,
I think 3-in-1 is up to the custom officer whether they wanna let you pass or not. Cos ozziemummie's 3-in-1 non dairy kopi got confiscated when she came back last month. Some more the packaging got write big big non dairy. Anyway, instant coffee is easily available here, so may wanna save luggage space for other things.
For meat, we still prefer going to Wing Hong as their meat appears to be the freshest. Some other butchers in Northbridge, when you enter can smell very strong meat odour. Wing Hong is the only one that we don't find nauseating going inside.
There's Mango in Perth City. Open just a few months back. Don't remember seeing Zara around.
