Aye, I know how you feel. We have the benefit of having family already in Oz, who are sponsoring us and looking after us for the first few weeks. My father is making a big deal out of it ('we'll never see you again'), but really - although flights are expensive, the world is a much smaller place than it once was.
On top of this, add the possibility of keeping video diaries on a camcorder, burning them to DVD and sending them across. There's also audio/video chat with the likes of instant messenger.
I have to admit, though, that I'm planning to take the opportunity to make a NEW life. My wife, children and I are looking forward to integrating with society, making friends and becoming australian. We're looking forward, not back.
Does any of that make sense?
