Hello and welcome, My advice to you will be to keep looking on this site for any info you require. we are hoping to go to Oz in sept ,Melbourne South. I'm a chippie and i believe there are lots of jobs out there for carpenters and roofers so you shouldn't struggle to find work.Best of luck in all your decisions Steve.

Hi and welcome to PIO - all questions answered even if you think they are stupid ones. We are all going through the same process and this site is a godsend. Not going in your direction but someone will be along soon who is...........

Good luck in your journey

Hi,

Welcome to PIO, not in QLD so can't give you any advice there. Just wanted to say that my 12 year old (girl) and 8 year old (boy), both settled very well and made friends very quickly as soon as they went to school which is one of your biggest worries when starting the process - and a huge relief when it all turns out ok.

Ali
