Hi Dolly!

thanks for the response. Do you know where I can get info online for things like mattresses and buying furniture. I am so americanized! crate and barrel and pottery barn. What are the aussie furniture stores. Do they have info on line?

What are the exepnsive things living in sydney - for example - food is definitely getting expensive here in the US but I think clothes are very cheap - and really good quality. Things go on sale very regularly so really you never need pay full price.

You are right - a million questions!
