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.
Hi everyone, we've just joined and i'm new to this thread thingy, so I'll apologise in advance for any boo boos!
We are new to Sunny Qld though not to Australia - we've just arrived from Adelaide, though originally from Cheshire and hubby's from Kent. Its brought back alot of the old newby memories - not knowing anyone, not knowing anywhere, getting used to the Qld way, have we done the right thing etc etc.
Life's certainly different here than in Adelaide and taking some getting used to. We're in Redcliffe at the moment and looking around to see where settle......though we don't think its going to be on the Peninsula.
Love Queensland and enjoying our new adventure so far.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! Yep I'll still be doing my turkey and trimmings!!
Welcome to poms in oz and happy xmas to you guys too,what made you leave adelaide im sure plenty folks on here would like your opinions.

Hi Cal, probably a mid life crisis!! as much as we love Adelaide, we'd been there for a few years and basically ran out of things to do, desperately needed a change - Adelaide is a small place. Anyhooo, with the kids off our hands, we decided to take life by the horns and here we are! Though I sometimes wonder what we've done. We have always loved Qld (from previous visits/hols) and as life isn't a dress rehearsal we're giving it a go.
We know Adelaide like the back of our hands and would be happy to answer any questions on it.
take care
Trish:)

Welcome to PIO, don't know about questions about Adelaide but will probably have some for Brisbane as we are heading your way in September so hurry up and get settled and familiar with things so you can tell us all about it.
Hey thank you so much!! Which part of Sydney are you going to be living? We love Sydney, Manly in particular. Very best wishes with your big venture, hope you sell quickly.......enjoy your last cold christmas!!! (that's something I do miss)

ha ha will do!! Which part of Brisie are you planning on going to? We've had a good look around from Hervey Bay to Sunshine Coast, to north and south Brisbane.....SOOOOO many lovely places!! Best wishes for the big move, anything you want to know and/or info to be sent over, feel free to ask Wendy. ttfn Trish
We are heading for the Murrumba Downs/Kallangur area, that's not too far from Redcliffe is it?
Hi Wendy, yes thats right its about 10-15 mins along Anzac Ave. We've recently been looking at houses at Narangba (gorgeous area) which again is only about 10 mins away from Kallangur area. All of these areas are just so central to everything.......gotta love it!
Let us know when your here and you can come around for your first Ozzie Barbie!
