Brisbane looks mighty fine

[the_bassford_tribe]

Hi all,
Our tribe consists of Graeme, Steph, Aidan (11) & Leigh(15). The kids are quite apprehensive still - but Steph and I are really keen to sample life down-under. We like the idea of commuting distance from Brisbane or Adelaide.

We've been thinking about Oz for a long time now and finally got to paying some hard-earned cash out on the TRA (ACS).

Looking at Visa 136 MODL application now and just getting my thoughts together ready for a hopefully, positive Trade Assessment.

We would be interested in hearing from any parents who have had good experiences with integrating teenage boys into life in Oz....

All the best,

My advice would be to get the kids into a good school , there are plenty around. All the schools here encourage the kids to get involved with sport, whch includes fun games on Saturdays! This is a good way for them to make friends, that is the key at their age; as soon as they have some they will be happy. It is different here to the uk as the kids in school all sit in their little 'groups'. It can be hard at 15 to find the right group or it may be easy depending on personality and attitude. Our 15 yr old daughter is happy and settled now, though it did take her a few months to find the right group. It is a far nicer and safer life here for teenagers. I have just started a Meet & Greet business for people moving into the Redlands area of Brisbane visit my website www.brisbanefirstconnections.com.au Best of luck.

Thanks for the information. I've had a quick look around your web-site and sounds like an ideal service. As things progress I'm sure we'll be in touch...
