This blog chronicles the adventure to Australia by James, Stephanie, Imogen and Felix between the 18th July 2012 and the 1st Feb 2013. The journey takes us through many countries before we arrive in Australia, our final destination and our new home. The Blog will then follow the challenges of settling a family in a new country

School of Mum and dad now turns to business studies
The 'School of Mum and Dad' is back!!....
Now that the kids have gone back to school, and we are no longer on the road, it would have been easy to close the school, but instead we have taken the idea to a different level!
The kids have opened a little import business which takes advantage of the opportunity to import cheaply from China to Australia. After careful consideration and extensive market research, their product choice was yoyos, and having negotiated with a range of chinese factories, a deal was struck to import 100 yoyos all of which are metal alloy with bearings, and come in a range of colours
The yoyos arrived on Tuesday, and have been on ebay for the last 24hrs, 2 sold so far, 98 to go, and the kids are yet to hit the school market!
profit margins, sales strategies and growth plans are all in place! job titles are:
Imogen - Marketing Director
Felix - Sales Director
Dad - Data Entry and Finance
Mum - Dispatch & Administrator
Whilst out on the beach last week, Felix asked how many yoyos he would need to sell to get the massive gin palace parked on the bay. - The answer was quite simply 1 yoyo for every child in Australia - He said 'Okay - better get started then'.
