Hi there

[Pigface]

Hello, another newbie, blah blah :)

Thought I would just post here first before even looking at the rest of the site, for some time now I have been toying with the idea of moving to Australia, so I thought I would begin research to see if it is even remotely possible (I have a feeling it wont be).. I am in the UK and at 33 I still have no sign of ever getting on the property ladder here despite earning a fair wage, life here is one long grind and the cost of living is just crippling, weather bad and so on and so forth.....

Anyway, I am in the alpha stage of looking into the possibility, so I am off now to read the forums :)

Hi there, welcome to our site.....hope you find it useful and if you have any questions, just ask!!!

[Pigface]

Thanks for the welcome all, I am biding my time before inundaditing with questions, I dont even know where to begin so I am trying to figure out all the basic procedures first before I ask "obvious" questions.
As this is a new idea to me, I dont even know where abouts in oz to begin looking, wether to seek a sponsor in my field of work or wether to just go ahead and apply for a visa first...seems like a bit of a minefield at the moment!

I will have to look further tomorrow, (11.20PM here)

Thanks again for the welcome

Ive grown rather fond of the name, I use it a lot online, I have heard em all and they still make me smile :)

[tinbasher]

Ok

Here's a really stupid one for you: What do you get if you cross a pig with a dinosaur ?
Jurassic Pork! Bet that one didn't make you smile. If it did then I am sure I can find one that doesn't.

Welcome pigface

i feel really mean typing that and if my kids read that i'd be in trouble then but as long as you don't mind!!!!

anyway welcome and as a starter to looking into where to move have a look on the menu at the left hand side of the screen which says 'site navigation' and if you look under weather and climate and states and territories you'll find info about different parts to start with if you haven't already.

Good luck and ask away if any questions cos somebody always knows the answer on here - lot of smart cookies they are.
