Hi from London!!
Also from London!
Love living in Brisbane, but...it's getting very very expensive, shocking sometimes!
It's very hard to give advice about the cost of living, same as the uk, folk shop around and pick up bargains. Our weekly shopping for two is twice that of the UK. But produce is far far fresher, keeps longer.
Look at some of the price comparison sites, there's quite a few. Bring everything you can with you...don't think "we'll get new there" It will eat into your settling in money.
But most of all...you're coming over...so really you'll have to adjust anyway...so why worry!!
Good luck with the move
