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.
Hello everyone!
Well we have actually done it! Just spent a huge amount of money appointing a Migration agent and started the process of applying for visa's for OZ. So taking the new development in to account I thought that it might be a good time to join the forum (for moral support and advice). It was time to stop debating the Pros and cons and take the plunge as I was only getting older and losing points. My wife, daughter and myself emigrated to the UK six years ago from South Africa after a life altering event, unfortunately I have never really been happy in the UK, the weather and missing wide open spaces have had a large amount to do with it! So two years ago the three of us went to OZ for six weeks on a recce , we travelled from Melbourne to Townville on a Greyhound hop on hop off bus, staying in youth hostels and camping. The last week we spent in Perth. It was fantastic, OZ was all that I dreamt it would be and more! Actually we enjoyed it so much that, 9 months later our family expanded with the arrival of twins!!!

Well I love the Bush so hopefully it would be somewhere rural!I have just sold my farm in South Africa recently and I would love to replace it in OZ ( A little more expensive then RSA). Unfortunately I have to realistic as we have to Work ! I am a Telecom Engineer (PABX)/ manager and Chantelle my wife is a Learning and Developement Manager so we will need to live near a city of some sort. Sorry Siblin I'm not keen on Perth proberly due to the fact that my only experience of it is Suburbia, We like Melbourne, My wife was pretty interested in Canberra. Sydney, Large City + we felt it was a bit expensive has moved down to the bottom of the list, I have to say at this point in time it will be Queensland, more than likely Brisbane or surrounding area but we are undecided, as we know very little about Darwin , Adelaide and Hobart and they all need to be researched ( The wife says "that is it! we are not moving again!") LOL! Any Ideas?? Any way Check out the FAM DAMILY in my Album
