With some more research, we are leaning more towards SA which we could get into on the basis I am learning disability nurse which is a skill in demand in this state.
Our quandry is we would not know anybody and that scares me as we have 3 children.
Have any of you emigrated without knowing anyone? Did you have children?
We are planning to visit in February to checkschools etc. Where are the best suburbs to live and why?
Lots of questions, I know but we really need to hear from people who have done it. Books and the net are great, but it would be invaluable to have some first hand guidance.
Many thanks
Steph

We are in the same boat, really love the look of Adelaide for many reasons! But Friends who live in Melbourne and Brisbane are trying to sway us there! Never been trying to fund a trip to check things out in feb as well, but with 3 kids is a bit expensive so may have to just make a decision and just go!! It does scare me slightly not knowing a soul but after reading postings it seems to be a commomn fear so not alone.. I am also a nurse but going on my hubby's visa as did'nt work enough hours to go on mine.. so will only work a couple of shifts a month to keep up my reg, met all my other friends through work so was worried would'nt be as easy when was'nt working... any way the best of luck.. lisa
