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.
Firstly many thanks for everyone's posts. They have been great to read and a good source of info.
As you guessed we are new on the site, but been browsing for a while. We just started filling out skills assessment for ANMC as we are nurse/midwife and they should go off soon.
Anyone know of anyone in the Hunter area?....or plan to go there?....My brothers in-laws live in Forster and they rave about it, but it would be good to get a few different views on the area, particlularly Newcastle / Maitland / Forster-Tuncurry.
We go in Jan 2008 for our reccie trip.
sorry can't help you with your query as we are going to perth and have only ever visited that area but wanted to say hi as you are only a couple of miles down the road from us. we live in ollerton so not far away. have fun on your reccie and have a good look around then at the areas you fancy for me one main factor will be how long it will take me to get to the beach (keep telling o h i'm going to be proffesional beach bum !!) hazel x
If my visa ever gets sorted I'm going to the Port Stephens area - about 60kms north of Newcastle. I've visited the Hunter area a couple of times - it's pretty lovely; quite varied scenery with nice inland national park areas and then the beautiful coastal region. If you want any more info about where exactly I went then feel free to private message me.
