Guest Missiemo Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi Guys Long time since my last post, just wanted to let you know how things are going. First, things I love about Australia: The Beach The weather The Fruit (yummy) The very large houses The cheap meals eating out Things I am not so sure about The Driving ( no one seems to want to give way to anybody here) The Bl***y Spiders (giving me nightmares) Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings (c**p at making my own) Christmas on the beach - not had the expericence yet but think I might miss the cosy fire and cold weather (I know sad) Not having friends (guys I miss you so much) The roads very busy, with really scary junctions That is just some of the things I miss and love Otherwise, we have brought some land in Mount Martha near Mornington, to build our own home on, with views of the bay, can also see Melbourne in the distance. Children has settled really well and love Australia, they are doing more now then ever back home. Hubby is working but work does seem a bit patchy here which can be a worry when you have a family, but everyone seems really laid back about it so trying not to stress. Hope you are all well and getting visa's sorted, see you soon Missiemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beki Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi Mo, Great to hear from you! Australia still sounds lovely and I don't want to get there any less but this waiting game is driving me insane! We've got a case officer and we're sorting out some extras she has requested. Probably not going to make Perth until after Christmas now which suits us as long as it happens soon after that or my twins wont be starting school with all the other Aussie sprogs! Really pleased it has all worked out so well for you and your family, you must have been busy! Beki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scott&lisa Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi Mo, It certainly is an emotional rollercoaster once you arrive in Oz isn't it! Some days I feel great and know I've made the best decision to move here and other days I feel lonely as I miss family and friends :cry: . However I have to admit the good days far outweigh the bad ones - which I hope is the case for you!! If you ever fancy a chat or to meet up just let me know! Take care Lisa.

Guest fatpom Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Things I am not so sure about The Driving ( no one seems to want to give way to anybody here) Interesting you should comment on the driving? I've drawn the following conclusion about Australian drivers (much to their ire). Australians drive with:- the rules of the Poms, the cars of the Yanks, the emotions of the Italians, the arrogance of the French, the skills of the Asians (sub-continent asains) & the blood alcohol of the Greeks. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nico Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hiya, Mo Really pleased to hear from you. You are the one person whose progress I've been most interested in, as I must have joined the forum about the time you were counting down the days. Well I'm still stuck here with absolutely no progress whatsoever, no case officer yet but trying not to stress. Great to hear how much you have done and that the kids have settled in. Reading between the lines it's maybe not so clear whether you have, so hope you are still feeling as positive and upbeat about the experience as you were before. Summer's on the way for you, and here it's torrential rain..that MUST make you smile!! Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
