- Clothes (but not our warmest winter gear, or our oldest stuff)
- Some shoes
- Personal/educational documents
- Some toys and other precious things the boys wanted to bring
- Copies of recent publications I've worked on
- Computers, cameras, and other electronic devices
- Board games and other small games
- Medication (not a lot)
- A few small household things we know we probably won't find in Australia
- School year books
- Some books we want to leave in Australia (notably, the Billabong series)
What was not in our luggage:
- Food (to avoid declaring anything at customs, and Australian customs are particularly strict)
- Furniture (too expensive to bring this)
- Appliances other than the above mentioned electronic devices (voltage is different)
- Kitchen stuff

I think sometimes people assume when a person/family moves, they take sheets, towels, pillows, blankets, dishes, etc. Those were items (in addition to furniture, a computer printer, etc.) that people in my home church would graciously loan me for a year at a time (or that I kept in storage at my parents' in the U.S.).
