Have you got your visas yet? or are they being processed? I can't believe we've done it it has taken 15months and its been painful at times but really worth it!

Hi Jo
I moved to Eastern Suburbs with my husband and eldest daughter (24) last September too - whereabouts are you living and how are you finding it?
Hope to hear from you soon

oops, I misread your threat, thought you had already moved!!!! Have you been to Australia before and do you know Eastern Suburbs at all? We moved here because my husband has family in the area so it seemed sensible place to live for the time being - it's quite expensive area though so we had to move a little bit further out, we're in East Botany which is about 10 minutes drive from Maroubra, 15 minutes from Coogee and about 20 from Bondi. It is very easy to get into the City from here, my daughter gets the bus straight in every day to work and there are lots of schools about. If you want to know anything please ask and I'll try and help you.....

We are coming to Sydney too!
We have no date yet but soon says the man who is dealing with the paper work!!
can't be soon enough for us. We are looking at Surry Hills area, hubbie is a designer and I work with kids currently but am looking for a complete change I think.
In for a penny, in for a pound!!
Good luck and share how you get on from here on in
