On final stage of visa application, completed medicals and police checks etc - just waiting to hear from Australia now, but need some answers to a few questions that would help us prepare for the move, any help is appreciated.

* Eldest child starts school in Australia Jan 2009, hopefully in Calloundra, Queensland - have emailed them for forms over a week ago to no avail, how does it enrolment work there?
* Youngest should start kindergarten soon after arriving but need email contact to put his name on the list.
* Roughly how much does it cost for white goods (washing machines, fridges)there - can you give me names of some big shops so i can do searches....not too posh OR should we maybe just bring our own?
* Is electricity and bills included in accomodation rental charges?
* Where is a good, leafy area, family oriented area in Calloundra - they all sound quite similar???? Husband is a computer programmer so should really be nearby the city of Caloundra and Brisbane.
* Are there alot of mosquitos there? Should we bring bed nets etc???

Thanks in advance for your help.
