WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
We have found exactly the same response when we tell people that we are going to australia,everybody knows someone who has moved to spain and it dosn't seem to raise any eyebrows it seems that the word "australia" puts the fear of god into people,20 odd hour flights,snakes,sharks,what about the spiders they say!!.
So just do your research,(lots of it) look at areas would best suit you for climate ,jobs ,schools etc keep reading the newspapers and watching the news on tv to confirm why you are going in the first place and go for it .
And then when you are out there email the doubters with pictures and stories of your adventure.
Good luck....Jamie
We are in the early stages of planning our emigration to Melbourne. It seems that most people we talk to are indifferent or anti. We are not getting much encouragement or support?
Any pearls of wisdom to offer with regards to mentally preparing for the move?
Would also welcome positive stories from people who have made the move, as this will egg us on !.
Kate & Andy
You`ll be fine! Your quality of life will improve ten fold! Weather better and life is what you make it!
Goodbyes are by far the hardest part, but internet, webcams ans MSN messenger make that easier.
Im in Brissie and lifes good
