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, a friend of mine has just told me about this site so here I am! I'm a 61 year old grandmother of 3 who is packing up here at the end of June and heading for beautiful Kiama on the south coast of New South Wales. I will be going it alone on a 676 visa and hoping to get a CPV when my other daughter lands in OZ later this year. A bit anxious at the moment but I am determined, but I have visited my daughter in Kiama many times so I know where I'm going. Starting a new life isn't easy, especially when your of an age when you ought to be settled and enjoying you retirement but after the death of my partner 4 years ago I think its time for a change, so its onwards and upwards!
If there is anyone from the UK who would like to meet for coffee sometime that would be great.
Quote of the day for me: Leap and the net will appear!

Hi Annie
Good Luck to you on your move.
My mom is 61 and has been in Oz for 12 yrs now, she moved here after marrying again after my dad died, they were both only 42 when he died and it certainly made her re-think life.
She retired in Jan but has just got a new job cus she was bored lol.
If you would like to email her I'm sure she'd be happy to reply. She's in QLD but I'm only an hr or so away from Kiama in Camden so you never know you might even meet her one day.
Hi Annie Hope all goes really well for you, i'm sure it well. Have a great time out in Oz and best wishes to you and your family Tania X
Hi Tania,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm going to do my absolute best to enjoy every minute, its something I've wanted to do for years. I only have a couple of weeks to go and there is still soooo much to do!

Thank you Sam for your kind words. There is a lovely atmosphere on her - I like it.
I'd love to email your Mum if she would like that - you can never have enough good friends. I have a friend in Surfers that I visit now and again - perhaps your Mum and I could meet up when I visit my friend, which should be within the next three months. Maybe when I get here we could meet up too. I have a ton of things to do yet - extra jobs keep cropping up!
Bye for now
Annie
