[The Broughtons]

Andy and Ally,

We have spent the best part of last week scouring real estate agents and driving through areas to get a feel for places. We have discussed areas to live with my Aunt (Aussie by birth) and my Uncle (a ten pound pom been here 33 ish years). We knew we'd found the right place when we looked in Mornington. We will be signing a 12 month lease on a 3 bed property in Mornington in a few days (our first application for a house and it was approved!) and hopefully will be buying our own property to move into once the lease is up.

We met up with Lesley last week for coffee. She hasn't changed since our first meeting in the UK! She shared with us some of her experiences as a NEW resident in Australia and we found it most helpful. We hope that in time we will be able to share our knowledge with others as well.
