- Pack everything that can fit into a removalist carton
- Keep jewellery, passports and other valuable documents separate to be conveyed by you
- Check the manufacturer’s instructions for moving appliances
- Empty all petrol powered items safely. BBQ gas cylinders need to be purged by an authorised dealer
- Wash all garden tools of soil if travelling interstate and check which plants can be taken
