Hi,

I am not going to post on the 'positive posts only' thread because I'd be lynched!!

However, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has actually given me a balanced view about Australia! The good and the bad points. That actually...sometimes life is not all it's cracked up to be, there IS crime, the wages (in our case) are half that of the UK, the sun does not always shine and infact some of you would prefer to go back to the UK because it's not worked out.

What I like is the fact that even though life is not perfect for some of you, you have still come on here with your wisdom and answered questions for those who are just starting out on their journey. Without sarcasm or criticism...... just the truth as you see it.

Moving to the other side of the world is just about the biggest life change anyone could make. I, like many others no doubt, started this quest with eyes glazed over at the thought of the promise land!

Having seen the good the bad and the ugly of our beloved OZ we have decided, for the time being, that actually our grass is quite green enough and we have decided that we are staying put!! Who knows though....we'll probably be at it all again very soon. I can never resist temptation!!.

Caroline.
