HI,

My name is Lynette and I am married to a fijian (Jone) currently living in Melbourne Australia.
We are planning on making the move to Fiji, preferably to live in Pacific Harbour later this year.
I would love to make contact with others who have made the move to Fiji to give advice on聽 housing, jobs and shipping our household items to the country.
Thank you

Lynette

Bula Kerry/John,

Thank you for your replies.

I work in construction as a Contracts Administrator. I am hoping to get on board with a building company in Fiji if I can.

We will be looking to move to Pacific Harbour or around that area when we finally聽 make the move.

I have had a price to ship a 20' container to Fiji but I don't know what I have to do with it once it arrives. Any advice on that?

I'm trying to get my head around the whole process of finding a house, shipping the house contents, finding somewhere to stay in the meantime etc. etc. Did it take a couple of trips over for you to set yourself up?

Hi Lyn

My husband & I are also looking to move to Fiji from Melbourne.聽 Our destination is Savusavu.

I would be interested in what price you were quoted for a 20' container......that appears to be the best option.

There is a member on here called Bill Will who is a freight forwarding agent, who we will be contacting for information on moving there.

FYI it is freightfiji@connect.com.fj

Hope to hear from you soon.聽 Cheers, Aly
