Not useful, but we sent our niece (in Melbourne) a Paddington Bear from Hamleys when she was little. He 'visited' us on trips to London with her as she got older and she still has him now (she's 15). Also, they don't have BabyGap/Gap Kids over there so clothes from there have always gone down well with our family (as have M&S things as also not over there).

I had my daughter in Oz last year and things i found useful that my family here sent us were; non 'baby pink' clothes(the girls stuff in oz can be v expensive and a bit girly so loved all the h&m, and even supermarket stuff in polka dots and stripes etc that people sent us from the UK.) , practical things like baby monitor and digital thermometer are double the price in oz, nappy bags are v expensive too. Plus always got my mum to send me Sudocrem as couldn't ever find it there!


Hope that helps.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
