Medicals & police checks done, just waiting for the OK, i'ts been nearly 2 years since we started out on this epic journey. Now, excited but very nervous, no jobs to go to, no family or friends,2 kids & never been to Australia before, please help are we doing the right thing! :?:
Hubby's a chippy and I run a childrens day nursery :?
Hey join the club:) Although Pauls family live in Queensland we will be living (hopefully) 30 mins away from them...We need to do this alone...In someways people think it's easier with family there but we shall see...I am leaving a huge family behind and only now that everything is done and we wait, I am feeling real jittery..
I am going with an open mind and seeing it as a challenge... Feel free to message us...You hopefully will meet some POMS when you get there so won't feel alone for too long...I need some friends too so ya never know we may be close enough to meet for a coffee :)

Hiya
Where are you heading for ?? we are hoping to leave the uk November time ,with our 2 terrors in tow ,in a similar situation that we dont really know anyone ,although i will be looking up a few friends i have met on here for there advice ,Gary has a job in Slacks Creek so would imagine we will end up somewhere not to far from there but the more i look the more confused i get,,

hiya
We are basically going somewhere around there because thats where Gary's job offer is ,we personally love Jimboomba area (big plots) but there isnt much rental properties and as we may only have 1 car whilst we get on our feet it may be abit far for Gary to pedal ,,Slacks creek looked lovely but ideally we would like somewhere a little less built up (if that makes sense),,Creastmead is another area that keeps cropping up so i guess we will just have to have a good look round ,have you got the Where to live guide for Brisbane?? great info on suburbs ,,
take care

Hi Jo & Paul,
Nice to hear from you, were not sure exactly where, been looking at Jimbooba though. Our medicals have been sent off just playing the waiting game again now, hopefully will hear in 3-4 weeks. Getting very nervous but excited at the same time. If we do get there I will definately get in touch if were close.

Would be great to keep in touch :) We have what feels like forever before we go, which may be a good thing because by the time we get there you can help me settle :) Have messaged you :)
We are looking at Ningi and Wooloolaba?! Anyone got any info on those. We have just had our TRA accepted and starting to look seriously at areas in brisbane too. would be great to meet up with pommies over there that we have spoken with along the way! We will be taking our 3 kids age 6, 3 and 1. Cheers
Hi Emma,
Whereabouts in Brisbane is Ningi & Wooloolaba I've not heard of them?
Keep in touch, our kids are aged 3 & 11. My eldest is Elliot and he's getting really excited, fingers crossed we will hear soon.
