Greetings all!
My husband, myself and 9 year old daughter are coming to oz! (hopefully - still going through the process). This forum is amazing and a personal hi to all those with kids thinking of going to Brisbane; we fancy it too :lol:
We went for our honeymoon this year and visited Australia Zoo: home of the Crocodile Hunter (my daughter adores him and wants to work with animals when she grows up). We stayed in Caloundra (big thumbs up, lovely people, beautiful sea, excellent shops etc..) and are now toying with the idea of moving near to the Zoo and running a guesthouse. My husband is a vehicle technician and I work in IT, but we want to embrace the attitude of the Australians and work for pleasure..not Council Tax!
We are at the stage of applying to the TRA (this week - it's taken 3 months to get the documents in order and tooooo much money for my liking, but I know it'll be worth it).
Anyone in Buckinghamshire emigrating? Take care everyone xxx
The Elliotts
We arrived in Morayfield a suburb in Caboolture in August this year (we are from Bolton, Lancs). For those of you from the North West its a bit like living near the Trafford Centre, there are lots of shops, the shopping centre has just been extended, lots of takeaways and a cinema. Some of the Australians feel that the crime rate has increased around this area and that there are better areas to live, however the crime rate is nothing compared to that in the north west of England.
Its definately not easy deciding where to live and we are moving next year to the Glass House Mountains, fortunately my husband works in Nambour, so it will be nearer to work. It's quieter there, the high school as an excellent reputation and the junior school has fewer pupils, only 400 compared to the 1100 at his current school(a bit daunting for an 8 yr old)
The only thing I can advise is be prepared to move, we came with that thought in mind, We have visited Qld twice before settling & still didn't get it right, we forewarned the kids that they may have to move schools, we have 3 kids 13, 8 & 2. But if you do move it will only be a small one compared to the one you have just done.
Hi everyone my name is pete my wife and I and our 3 kids are heading to the goldcoast mid jan06 from suffolk. I have a choice whether to work from southport on the gc or to work from geebung or kelvingrove in brisbane at the minute were edging towards southport but any info about any of these areas would be most welcome.
Lets us all hope that CalNgary is not granted a visa and invites Dodge over to stay with her in her lovely middle class utopia.. that is only 10/15 miles from Manchester.. maybe they could visit Moss Side together with other like minded people so that all the single mums can live in peace away from them.
The majority of single parents are ordinary women, with enough to cope with, let alone the negativity projected by bigots like these two.
Single Mums experience poverty and they have to learn to cope with total responsibility, loneliness and guilt. There are also many positive aspects such as peaceful atmosphere, contentment, independence, resilience.
Now concentrate here Dodge and CalNGary.. single mums have priorities too.. like children's well-being, a satisfying job, decent housing, good health, and reliable childcare.
p.s. I’m not a single mum, I’m a happily married father, but thank god not to one of these two 'wannabes':
