Hi all !!!!

Hi all, well here we go this is the first move we make towards the big push since we decided to move to oz a few days ago, my partner Claire and I decided we wanted to move out after traveling there in 2004 but since returning we got a little side tracked started a business with a few up and downs, family comitments required me to stay in the uk for a while but now we have no reasons to stay it's full steam ahead but it's like steaming straight into pea soup, my head feels like a rice pudding but the excitment makes me giggle, im just glad I found you guys and this forum its full of great info and from what I gather helpfull people that the uk doesnt deserve . My next move is the oppertunity expo in London.

all the best
James

A big "HELLO" & welcome to PIO! You will get lots of help on here - everybody is really friendly - as you probably know if you have been having a look

GOOD LUCK with the process & if you ever feel down just log on and for sure you will cheer up

Thanks Guy's

Les - Not sure where to go, ive been lucky enough to visit most hot spots Sydney is always a winner but I do fancy North QLD but not sure if I could cope with the cabin feever when it rains, if all goes to plan which is rare then ill go for the skilled visa with no restrictions so once business is sold we will have a bit of cash to buy a camper again and spend some time touring untill we find a nice spot.

Looking forward to Expo has anyone been ? what can I expect is it worth taking portfolio and cv's etc

James

Hi James and Claire, we're new too havn't posted before but your situation sounds a little similar to ours. We have two kids though. But we have my husbands business to sort out which due to comitments means we are going for a look at Perth at the end of the year as that is where we are keen on, but wont be able to start the prosess yet. I have been looking an expo in the Oz mag etc but have obviously been looking in the wrong place. Where and when is the London one? We need so much info it would be good to go. Am so excited already even though it's a long way off.

Hope all is going well for you two.

Neil 36 and Faye 32 xxx
