Hi
I'm Deb, lived in the Newcastle, NSW, area for almost 10 years.
I moved over with my young sons when they were 9 and 7 and understand a lot of what I'm reading here

.
It took us 8 years, an appeal and a Ministerial Intervention to be granted our permanent visa so I know all about the stresses and expenses that can be involved.
Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or just want to make friends
