Thanks for your replies. They have given me some things to think about. The climate is a definite draw, my job as a vet should be relatively easy to obtain. My husband is a plumber but can work in most of the building trades. We love the outdoors and are keen on socialising. We've saved money for the move and I feel we have to try now. It will be harder on the points system after I hit 44! One thing I keep hearing about is drugs. Is it so much worse than the uk and in what way?

Hi This is my first ever forum post! I am 42 years old and considering a move to Perth. My husband was adopted as a baby and recently made contact with his birth brother who is living there. He has visited and wants us to emigrate so that he can spend time with his brother. He also feels that as a a family we could enjoy a better work life balance and that oz is a great place to bring up ou boys (4 & 7). I have become increasingly unhappy in my job where I am working long hours with not enough family time so am thinking now may be the right time? I am hoping to enter on the points system and have already started the ball rolling but every now and then I get cold feet! Is the grass really greener? I'm worried about the logistics of actually moving! Has anyone got any words of wisdom or similar experience? Thanks
