Socialising & Get TogethersIf you're looking to meet up with like minded people emigrating to Oz or want to arrange an event in Oz, please post details here.
Hi, we live in South Woodham Ferrers and would love to come to 'the halfway house' on 9th march, if thats ok.
We are a family of 4 and we have two very close family friends that also want to go to OZ! We've chosen 'PERTH' as our settlement spot, although I like 'Adelaide' aswell, but seeing as we are going to rent when we get there, it doesn't matter at this point.
On 10thmay 2008 we fly out for a visit. Within that 3weeks we hope to look at areas, schools, jobs, houses and environment.
We are in the early stages of migration so would love to get some of your help, advice, tips and experiences.
Hi sara
we live in south woodham ferrers, and are visiting 'perth' in may.
I work at Southend hospital.
When are you planning to move? Are you going to 'the halfway house' on 9th march?
Would love to chat?
Michelle, Jon, Kiera(4) & erin (18mon).
is that ok? it doesn't matter if people can't make it there exactly on time, just get there as soon as you all can.............

Best of luck to all of you but I have to say I find this incredibly disconcerting.I live in the Kent/South London Suburbs and work in Romford...Whilst I can understand families living in Inner London being perturbed(to say the least) at the way our Country is going Essex itself is surely a million(metaphorically not literally..lol) light years away from that and still quintessentially English and yet a positive plethora of potential Poms..:).Can I ask(without prying) why each of you(in just 1/2 sentences if you wish)..want to move?...Is it the attraction at the other end of the World or your perceived vision of the way our Country is heading or a combination thereof?...Thanks in advance Guys.
p.s.Its just soooo frustrating to lose so many good,honest decent Families,which is why I'm interested.
Would it be okay for 2 more to come along on March 9th? My name is Sam and I'm from Essex, OH, Andy (who is orginally from Liverpool..strange combination I know!) and I currently live in Wickford. We have just got back from a 3 week visa validation trip and plan to move out to Perth in August. Woud be so nice to meet some more people who are taking the plunge!

Hi Tony LS, We have a lovely house in a lovely area and that is my regret leaving such a wonderful place to live. But for us it is simply time for us to move on, we have lived in Essex all our lives and have a 16 and 14 year old and they want to live in Australia too. When we visited Aus to me it was like England was when I was a child, just behind the times but nicely so!! Time for an adventure!
Good luck with where you decide to be
