We have been here nearly 3 years my kids had problems settling its very hard for teenagers to find the right friends.My son was 17 when we arrived i lost count how many times he was getting on a plane back to England his still here and would now never go back.He has an aussie girl friend and daughter now.My daughter is just starting to get some close friends but not the close friends she had in England and still misses England alot. It takes time to restart and build your life here a few months is not long enough.I have a larger mortgage here but the endless sunshine a great people make it all worth it.You have to think about the reasons you came here and remember nothing has changed in the uk since you have been away.

Alaska After reading your post why don't you look at private schools most kids here go to private schools some are very good value

Rehome her. we brought our lab out she was so stressed by the flight and quarantine.she had completely lost her voice and had sores on her legs. My vet in the uk had tried to talk me out of taking her i wish i had listened.she now hates being left when we go away on holiday and she hates the thunder storms here.If i had known i would of left her behind but shes part of the family and i didn't want to leave her

Try http://www.scarboroughholidayvillage.com.au/ they have cabins for rent they are very nice not sure what kippa ring motel is like but kippa ring is not the best area in redcliffe

North lakes isn't for everyone some love it some hate. It has a good shopping center nice parks and is well looked after.Schools are ok but if you can afford it go private far better than any state schools.traffic is not a problem any more now there's new roads.The older side has larger plots. All the new plots seem to be getting smaller there's still the odd good sized plot around.

I used a top loader in the rental we have wasn't impressed so brought a front loader.Buy it here as you will then have the warranty if anything goes wrong.

advice on Clontarf Beach high and Redcliffe State schools
The Bray Family replied to kellydorey1's topic in Education
If you can afford it i would look at private schools.The biggest mistake i made was to put my 14 year old daughter into my local state school.You also have to live in the catchment for state school.Redcliffe has some very good private schools. -
<p>Thanks Sarah, im pleased you have settled so well, We thought we would rather return home while the kids have happy memories of oz, before they decide they hate it! That way maybe they would be feel a lot better when we return for a holiday, And actually look forward to coming back! So who knows what will happen over the next couple of years at least we still have the option, with regards to our visa, so the door will always be open x</p>

<p>Thats a shame it can take a while for kids to settle god mine have been up and down but are getting there.My daughter still misses her best friend in the uk really bad at times and my son has been a nightmare.But he is settled now and has gone into the Australian army and is loving it. Its hard but you have to do whats right for you and your family no one likes to see there kids unhappy</p>
<p>best wishes</p>
