Last 24 hours in the UK! *serious house sale drama*

[@brycesinclair3479]

Wow! What a challenge.

[@Chris-bb2cb]

HEAT WAVE in Perth at the moment.... 40 degrees Thursday.. No more Icey weather..

[@HeathWP]

Flip side. 12c at lunch time here in central Tasmania in the middle of summer.

[@jenniferharrison8915]

It was brave of you to decide to video your last days, without coffee, I appreciate how you share the realities of life! Wow, what a supportive and handy husband, envious! Organised as usual, I hope your family can sort the rest for you quickly! Your statement 'the last day in England' was very emphatic! Now breathe, eat, sleep, dream! 😌💞

[@mariatateofficial]

Haha I think it's good for us to look back on and remember it as it was instead of the highlight reel our brain usually tells to spare us the details. It's been a lot to deal with that's for sure, but I'm always so sure there's a reason for the lot of it and we'll understand it better at some point in the future. Right now we're here and it feels really lovely (even with the jetlag really getting to me today!) xx

[@jenniferharrison8915]

@mariatateofficial I agree, it's important to record those sort of family moments, and remember! Don't worry about what you cannot fix today, your health and the kids comfort are more important! Later! Act like a tourist and have some fun (and afternoon siestas)! 🤗

[@ness1078]

Hope you've arrived in Perth okay! I think that's where you're moving to..sorry I've missed a few of your videos been quite busy! If you need anything let me know we've been in Perth for a couple of months now 😘

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

You’ll get to see plenty of beautiful sunrises & sunsets here in Australia 💜💜

[@mariatateofficial]

They've been so beautiful!! My fave thing

[@-sandman4605]

I just smiled for 17 & a half minutes. 😊

[@mariatateofficial]

we have that effect on people for sure! hahah

[@krh007]

Yeah same issue here when you sell your house you have to meet regulations like (power box safety switches are up to modern regs) often the buyer will insist on a certified building inspection report in the sale contract to make sure the house is within "building code specs" before settlement and any major issues that may arise can be addressed by the seller before settlement. Same as when you go to rent a property. Take tons of pics and any prior damage of things broken and the condtion of gardens and lawns are clear via pics for when it comes time to vacate. Especially condition of carpets, floor covering, tiles, bench tops, cupboard doors, door handles, taps, sinks, wall paint any chips or scratches, picture frame hooks in walls, window sills, window treatments ie curtains etc, laminate bench tops, light fittings, switches, all taps are not dripping and toilets are functioning properly. You would be amazed how tenants get caught out losing their bond or a fair chunk of it because they never had evidence of prior wear & tear and it was not listed on the property report apon moving in. You have arrived during an extreme heatwave (worse we have had in a while) which will last a week (Hot air coming in from inland and no cool sea-breeze to blow it away) but hopefully after a week things will return to normal. Best time to make use of the beaches or swimming pools or major shopping centres like Karrinyup, Whitfords, Joondalup etc as i think your moving to northern suburbs up Yanchep way in due course. I suppose you will confirm that in your next long version vid. Your staying near the WACA cricket ground so so perhaps catch an uber to Beatty Park Leisure Centre (huge public swimming complex) which is not far away for a fun day out in the water. Best time to be out and about strolling around is early morning and evening just after the sun goes down - enjoy

[@Bad.BadLeroyBrown]

Cant wait for the video of you going through OZ customs.

[@mariatateofficial]

guyss 🤣🤣 everyone is so concerned about the snacks - nothing that we took was on the restricted list on the form so I didn't have to declare anything that we brought with us. They didn't ask us when we handed over our passports, they didn't check anything..we literally walked through in all of 5 minutes and got our taxi. No need to be worried about the snack boxes or dried food we took with us haha. Noodles, crackers and kids biscuits are not a hazard to Australia. The only thing the form prompted me to tell them about was the kids Calpol medicine that we brought with us, and even then they said 'oh that's fine because it's not prescription'. It was a breeze!

[@archangel763]

Remember to declare food that you have with you on your entry passes before you get to border control when you land in Perth. You probably remember that card your given just before landing when you went to Sydney, its important that you fill them in correctly. You just need to declare what you have as per the entry cards. Enjoy the journey for your family in Australia.

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

How you all settling in with that week long heatwave. Feeling for ya all. Sydney here is much nicer weather.

[@mariatateofficial]

The kids have really struggled if they've had to walk more than 10 mins in it, so that was hard at first! But since we've got our smartrider cards it's been so much easier. To be honest, today we just stayed in until later in the afternoon and then went to the park for about 30 mins before coming home for icy poles haha

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

@@mariatateofficial yeah being outside when it's high 30's or more ain't much fun. Be good to see a video now that you're starting to find your feet a bit. How are you going for a car or such to buy?

[@maggief1137]

Safe travels to you Maria and family, the only thing about emigrating is the kids bond with grandparents and family that is the hardest part, hope it all goes really well for you all good luck keep us posted 💐🤗🥰🥰❤️

[@wallywombat164]

Did you put any English snags in the boxes? 😮😮😮😮

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

Arnica is utterly essential after a tooth extraction! Either drops or tablets, trust me, it makes an enormous difference to swelling & recovery time

[@mariatateofficial]

oooo I'll let him know!

[@garthwaters5756]

i know you are here lo,l but fricken hot everywhere welcome to OZ ❤❤

[@JayWhy1964]

Dinosaur, sounded like my wife eating chips!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mariatateofficial]

Your wife and I have something in common hahah. Mikey's always telling me off for how loud I eat chips

[@maggief1137]

Hair looks nice 🥰

[@mariatateofficial]

Ohh thank you!

[@charlesemerson6763]

Did you check the prohibited goods list for Australia. Make sure you have no fruits or vegetables, medicines or drugs. Some drugs like blood pressure, heart drugs etc require a doctors letter along with the prescription. There's a few other things but Border Force will pick you up on that. Oh and it's 35C or 94F in Perth, I think the hottest is Thargominda in Queensland where it's 42C or 107F. Bit of a heatwave at the moment but it's all good. Have a great trip and we'll hear from you when you land.

[@user-lv5bt3nt3r]

Geraldton hit 49.3 yesterday.

[@VikkiTelfer-d2y]

Aw what a lovely video ! So happy for you all I have been following your journey. It’s amazing to see your dreams finally come true. Hopefully that will be us soon summer 2025 🤞. Come on visa … ☺️

[@mariatateofficial]

Everything crossed for you Vikki!! It's an amazing feeling and one insane adventure haha

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

What is it with thise big bags. You're the 2nd family that ive seen use the same bags coming to Australia. Must be thing around your part of your part of the world.

[@mariatateofficial]

hahaha, honestly, everyone who moves to Australia uses them. It's like an unspoken rule in the 'Moving to Australia' Facebook groups that people use them. I actually think if I did it again, I'd have just gotten 4 more suitcases like one of the others we used because it fit about 15kg more!

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

@mariatateofficial the mystery has been solved. Thanks 😜

[@andrewdavie386]

I suspect you'll have problems taking the fruit into Australia, even dried. Eat it all before customs!

[@mariatateofficial]

We had no problems at all with anything we brought, super straight forward and only took about 5 mins to get through customs and grab our taxi!

[@wallywombat164]

You'll have to forget to use big words like ' sin aereo ' when ya get to Aust. There's another one, ' tan ginble '. Struth. Perth'ns can hardly put four words togever. 😮😮😮😮

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Scenario, Tangible? Have they stopped teaching reading and writing now? 🤣

[@wallywombat164]

Stopped teaching English? I don't understand what you mean. Am I rong?

[@55Bloss]

I wouldn't pack any foods to bring into Australia....Customs will allow you to keep that thats not on the banned list.you have to declare it, if not huge fines. Seriously it's not worth it. Definitely DONT bring in food, nuts, fruit, seeds or any plant materials. VERY STRICT.

[@user-lv5bt3nt3r]

Its only unprocessed foods thats on the prohibited list.

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

Yep!! This is why I love your channel!! Anyone who is neurodivergent wins points with me (ADHD here & I totally get the mug thing 💜)

[@mariatateofficial]

Awwww!!! I was heartbroken, honestly. I've been into K-Mart and bought another that 'feels' the same, but it's not hitting the same way haha. It really upset me when I realised

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

@ yep! I feel your pain!
