Moving to Tonga and selling everything

Recommended Posts

Hi,

We have decided to move to Vava'u (Tonga). We've bought land there a year ago and thought it is a good idea to go and experience the island life. Unfortunately, my 457 visa was cancelled and we don't have any other options to remain in Australia for longer than another 2 weeks from today. Going back to South Africa is not an option for us and taking the furniture to Vava'u is way too expensive.

We are selling the following items:

1 X Ford Falcon Forte Auto (White)

2000 model; A/C; Cruise control; Full service history; Rego until Aug 2009; Free bike rack and number plate. $4,500

1 X Sansui 42" Plasma

2 years old and still in an excellent condition. (New was $2000) Asking $700

1 X Lounge suite

1 X Relaxing coach

Bit of topic but this reminds me of the last time I've been in Oz. Met someone from one of the South Sea islands (can not remember exactly where he was from) in a curio shop in Sydney. We where talking about immigration and he said that he was not going to be like the rest of his family. "All they do the whole day is sit on the beach and drink beer."

But quietly I was thinking to myself - Sitting on a tropical island and drinking beer the whole day vs working in a stuffy old curio shop - what was he thinking!

Did you then end up selling that white lounge suite to someone else?

I did.

I thought you didn't want it anymore. I haven't heard from you since my email on 1 Dec where I've provided you with the links to 5 local storage contractors for quotes as well as asking you for your mobile number so that I can send my bank details to you.

Ah I see that now. We have been kinda busy with another international move of our own. No worries. Probably best because Im not sure where we would have fitted it!
