hi have a few questions

just to do with meds my gf is on the pill iv looked into it and is it correct she can only bring a 3 month supply also she has to have a letter from a doctor when we arive in new zealand or aus will she just need to go the doctor and get a new tablet perscribed ?

also i plan on bringing my external hardrive full of music tv shows and films etc would this be ok ? like will they check it i have no porn on it before ye ask lol just might be a few films iv aquired from sharing my hard drive with mates and they swap/add new files to it so i could have films i havent paid for and were downloaded from emule etc
i dont want them to think im planning on burning dvds and selling them lol
prob a stupid question but better to safe than sorry

thanks

Re: meds in Australia
Yes the official line from dept of health and aging is
To comply with other Australian legislation covering therapeutic products you should ensure that the maximum amount of medicine you bring is equivalent to 3 months' supply at the maximum dose recommended by manufacturer.

To comply with Customs regulations,
Declare medicines that you are bringing into Australia
Ensure that you have a prescription for prescribed medicine and that it is clearly labelled.

There are other details here

But the above is the guts of it.

Overseas prescriptions will not be accepted in Australian pharmacies. So before you run out of medicine see a GP in Australia for new script. Most of the OCpills available in Ireland are also in Oz but there are a few exceptions, Dr would discuss alternatives.

Having said all of this I have seen girls from UK bring way more than 3 months as generally they get prescribed 6 months at a time and the pill is free in UK.
Cheapest pill in Oz is about 15$ in Chemist Warehouse right up to 84$ for most expensive in ordinary pharmacy, for 3 month supply.

I know nothing about your hard drive
