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.
My name's Catherine, I'm completely new to the site. Presently live in Manchester in the UK, am coming over to Brisbane for 6 months in September. Have a job as am taking part in a work exchange programme with my company. Am sure I will be posting loads of questions as I'm clueless as to what to do and where to go when out there. Really looking forward to spending some time out in Oz.
My fiance is hopefully coming out to spend three weeks with me at Christmas, if we like it and can cope without friends and family we may stay
Look forward to reading about everyone's experiences on he site.
Hi Cath,
I hope all works out for you.
My and my Oh are hoping to go to Perth. We are just waiting for our visa..............
Good luck and ask away if you need any help/advice

Hi Cath
Welcome to PIO and congratulations with the work exchange I am sure you will love it in Brisbane. Does this mean some poor bugger has to go back and live in Manchester
I'm also living in Manchester at the moment and I'm moving out to Oz in November, I plan to travel up the east coast but intend to settle in sydney for xmas and new year. Where abouts in Manchester do you live? May be worth meeting up for a chat and sharing travel tips before you leave??? I'm currently in didsbury.
Thanks for all the nice messages everyone. AndThomp83 I'm in Droylsden, East Manchester, would be nice to meet up and swap tips, though I haven't got many yet. Yes, some poor person has to take my place for 6 months, but Manchester's not that bad. The engineer taking my place is coming from Sydney I think.
congrats on the move and welcome to pio. i am living in manchester and trying my hardist to get over to oz so if you want to meet up for a chat. i am live in stockport which is near didsbury where andthomp83 lives maybe we should all go for a drink its a good nite out in didsbury ha ha
