Don't hurt the spiders. They are your friends when it comes to flies and roches.:biglaugh:

Same sort of standard then you are looking at a salary of at least $150,000 and with that estimate I'm probably wrong. You might get someone say $180,000 plus.

4 bed detached house and you have to have a pool will set you back on rental $800 a week (yes a week) depending on where you can get a rental. (OK you don't have to have a pool. That's a luxury).

To buy depends on what visa you get.

I'm sure an expert who lives in Sydney and been through what you are about to will be along shortly.

Good luck.

IF sorry it hasn't worked out for you. I'm in the same dilema.

Been trying since 2008. Nearly got in end of 2012.

I'm 47 in September. Calling it a day at 48, September 2015.

I can take my pension at 50 if I want and if I move across any later than 48 then I'll be working to the death. I'm nearer retiring between 50 and 55 and I can apply for a Retirement Visa for Australia at 54. Just depends on what my kids are doing.

It is disappointing though when things don't come off the way you would like them to.
