when I left Oahu in 81, the movers hit like a plague of locusts. In and out in less than 30 minutes. They packed EVERYTHING - dirty dishes in the sink, half a dozen garbage cans with garbage, a cedar box on my night stand with a loaded model 1918 (nope, not a humi). Sold my condo in the high 70's. Last I heard, my next door neighbor just sold for $350K.
Good luck down under, mate! Legal Cubans!
