    Hey all,

    Anyone ever ship their personal belongings home after a year in Australia? I have a laptop, an external hard drive and a various books, clothes that I don't fancy lugging around NZ and Asia when we leave Australia in June. I would really appreciate any advice on this.

    Thanks :)

    Was in a similar situation a few years ago.
    I ended up shipping the non-valuable items home using
    standard post - including a surf board which they were reluctant to take.
    It took 3 months sea post but not too expensive.
    The valuable items (like laptop) I took with me to asia, with the intention
    of leaving in a secure left luggage place.
    The only left lugagge I could find in Singapore was in one of the
    train stations and it was very much unsecure.
    I left my laptop there anyway, and to my surprise it was there
    when I returned a month later. I just walked in and took it,
    as I couldn't find anyone to ask. - top security :)
    My Friends had some belongings stolen from left luggage in Thailand,
    so it's risky.
