hiQuoll nice to hear from you as I don.t have young children (Ours are staying behind they are Grown up) I have started to worry that it will be hard to make friends, but I am so excited about the move and will get on with it and get myself out there. Although we are in Sydney for 3 months I am looking forward to Canberra it will be nice to see the big city but we prefer the smaller area. (we live rural here in uk). We will be popping backwards and forwards over the 3 months to Canberra to look at houses. It is all coming together over here so only 3 weeks till the big move.
