Hi All thanks for welcomes
Sue - my husband is dual citizen his mum is Aussie, so I actually met him out here he has lived in aus since he was a kid. He is in RAAF, so I guess I am a lifer in Aus as he is a career RAAFie and sees that as his entire future, he is a LegalO currently in Afghan, but interestingly there appear to be quite a few brits in the aussie forces, I gather there are 2 with him on deployment, and we always cross paths with others. Defence force has some good housing we live in a gorgeous house on one of the secure bases with a view over the sea, so have been very good to us so far. I miss things a lot from UK like seeing my sisters kids growing up and that kind of thing, oh and being around my peers who have common indentity such as simple things like pub quizes and conversations where reflect on common things like silly cartoons watched as a kid, but dont get that in aus. Uk such a long way way, but i am holding out for when they reinstate some kind of concordesque cheapy plane that can do it really quickly. I guess in life you cant have everything and if had all the good aus bit and all uk bits that would be a bit of a heaven on earth and not going to happen.
oH that reminds me There are a couple of msn groups for aussie spouses to get info on life in the defence, if you interested I can post the links, you need to join them though.
