Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 10:44am On Nov 05, 2013 |
lawland: Dear Jenny, can you pls give me an insight on the question above? And again, I want to know what and what I must carry to Perth like foodstuff, personal items etc?... Cos I learnt cooking and eating homemade food reduces expenses... Thanks in advance To be honest I could care less about seats. I only fly emirates, however during check in I insist on window seat if there is any available and if there isn't any valuable I go wherever. I'm not fussy |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 10:44am On Nov 05, 2013 |
As per food stuffs you can carry about anything but you must declare them all in the customs card they will give to you's on the plane . If you are not sure of a question or what to tick just tick yes, it is better to tick yes and be safe than no and lose it all plus fine 1 Like |

lawland: Thanks UKBtech, I guess the viewing opportunity is what took me to the window side besides I hate being disturbed. Is the curvature in all windows? It is nothing to worry about, the view was 'funtustic' |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by lawland: 11:22am On Nov 05, 2013 |
jennykadry:Thanks Jenny for the insights... Window seat it is then. As for the foodstuff, I am only worried about our naija immi. I am glad emirates gave me up to 30K baggage allowance. I will be glad if you can provide me with the list of foodstuffs I must carry, I mean expensive or scarce ones. Thanks once more. @UKBtech... Thanks a lot. |

lawland: Confirmed my booking today with emirates.... @Travelers in the house, pls tell me the best seat for this kind of long journey.... Is it advisable to sit by the window? I have already selected it but I don't know if it is ok cos I can still change. Just drop your own view... Thanks in advance. Congrats! Meanwhile, did you check your arrival time with Emirates cos most of there arrival time especially for December flights are around 12am to 3am (very early hours) so I'll be opting for Etihad instead. |

lawland: I am an Arsenal fan so am gonna fly emirates.. My arrival time is 08:45... @Lawland, You will miss your Arsenal here in AussieLand. I learnt the hard way here, Match times are usually 1-3am. I have only watched one live game of football since I arrived. BTW, I am a true blues |

Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 5:04pm On Nov 05, 2013 |
No mischief, more like an exercise. At least now you know what food stuffs to carry with you. That's my reason for asking you to list them. |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by lawland: 5:30pm On Nov 05, 2013 |
jennykadry: No mischief, more like an exercise. At least now you know what food stuffs to carry with you. That's my reason for asking you to list them.Exactly what I thought...... But I asked cos I want to know the foodstuffs or ingredients that's cheap and readily available in Perth so I can drop them and get more of the expensive and scarce ones.... Thanks anyway.. |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 6:29pm On Nov 05, 2013 |
Forget cheap. No food stuff is cheap here so prepare yourself. Egusi and co are here no doubt but very expensive. Prioritise prioritise prioritise 1 Like |

Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 7:10pm On Nov 05, 2013 |
There are. But expensive |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by lawland: 7:19pm On Nov 05, 2013 |
jennykadry: There are. But expensiveNow I understand your point.... I will just carry as much food that i eat as possible.... I wish I can carry yam and plantain too.. I love them both... |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by lawland: 3:27am On Nov 06, 2013 |
I hate the new look of the immi. website.. I prefer the old one... |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 4:48am On Nov 06, 2013 |
lawland: Now I understand your point.... I will just carry as much food that i eat as possible.... I wish I can carry yam and plantain too.. I love them both... @ Lawland, the list from Jenny is very good. Yam and plantain maybe heavy ontop your 30kg baggage allowance. I carried the following: egusi, ogbono, crayfish, and assorted leaves:; ugu, nchianwu, uziza, bitter leaf, pepper soup spice. Also learn how to drive & barb yourself and buy a clipper if you can. You also need 9ja driver's licence so can convert to it to Aussie with little practice and tests. As for 9ja immi at the airport, they asked me for 'Food or Quarantine Certificate' and started demanding for 'settlement' when I could not provide it, but my brother I stood my ground and did not spend 1kobo @ MMIA even though I had some dough in case. An experienced friend educated me wella, usually you need to package your stuff your in transparent plastic bags and label them with both the local and botanical names and expiry dates. Make sure all your leaves are dried. It is usually better to go early so that you will have plenty time for immi & custom & ndlea nonsense at the airport, I arrived 10.30am for 2.30pm flight. They kept directing me from one On this end, make sure u declare everything on your landing card or you will be fined if caught. As for yam, am sure you can get yam to buy in sydney. I dey buy yam, beans, garri, golden morn wella through some Nigerian/Asian shops here in Melbourne. If in doubt ask other Nigerians when you arrive. Bon voyage! ![]() 1 Like |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 5:14am On Nov 06, 2013 |
^^^ Ditto. I settled the customs 1k in naira. Lawland, I bought a zip lock transparent bag, that was what I used to pack my orishirishi. Even the custom guys in Perth and Nigeria were happy with it. The Aussie guy that checked my bag in perth was like....."I wish everyone packed their stuff in bags like this, makes it easier for us to see what's inside"...but the first bag I showed him was the Naija custard bag....you know our custard dey white like cocaine ![]() |

Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by lawland: 6:43am On Nov 06, 2013 |
@ UKBtech... Don't mind those custom and immi people, I promise to be a bad market to them. @ Jenny... That was exactly my thought when you mentioned custard. Anyway, I planned sealing my foodstuffs in a transparent poly bag just like UKBtech described then place a label with name, botanical name and expiry date on it. Hope they won't ask for NAFDAC no. *laughing* those our naija immi and custom can be mean. Please tell me how you source your zip lock transparent bag in case my sealer fails me. |
