Most of our couple friends have gone back because the wifes or girlfriends just want to go home. Sorry Im not all sweetness and light but it's best to have both sides of the coin. I never knew about this website when we was deciding to emigrate and I feel it would have been useful to me. I couldnt put anyone off because I know from first hand the will and determination and excitment you will all have for the move..and all expat experiences are different
And my comments about Canberra are true, it's the armpit of Oz!
Can't wait! Moving there 3rd September!

Great!

Where in Canberra are you?? We've got House in Gungahlin that's just been reserved - I don't think I've got the rose coloured glasses about any of it - I just think that wherever my Hubbie and Kids are is Home! The Country or House is irrelevant to me. Mind you, I am an Armed Forces Wife!
