Hi, we moved to the central coast just under two years ago and i am affraid it is harder with dogs, the only properties you can rent are the older style, what you need to do is go into the estate agents and rather then looking at the rental list or real estate, just ask them to point out any houses that would except a dog and you must say the dog lives outside then smuggle him in, this is the only way i am affraid, we wished we didnt bring the dogs but they were part of the family good luck

Definatly pay the extra and get the permanent visa, especially if you have any children

Read second line then looked at another paragraph and thought my god this person needs to get a life, dont even know if your in australia but please stay in england

Look around at the garage

sales, loads everywhere, thats what we did then slowly started to buy new again

Hi everyone just a reminder that we are going to meet up on tues the 10th dec at terrigal surf cafe, was thinking we could meet at the bench which is under the tree next to the cafe, everyone welcome young and old x see you there vicky

Ok lets do it, really busy this week but what about tues the 10th dec 10am at the surf cafe in terrigal??

Hi, just a thought for you that my sons NEVER wear trousers anymore and the kids like to fit in with others,even in winter they wear their shorts and a jumper, once you start earning the aussie dollar you will find things are not that expensive

Nice boat, but not looking at spending quite that much lol, it's a shame they never got to cruise in it, life's a bitch sometimes

Don't put your kids in a school where there is a high number of Asians !!!

Hi, I would love to meet new girlies, I live in terrigal but I am a little older (40) lol, are you free at all during the day for a coffee, pm me if your interested, Vicky

My friend who is a midwife has left uk and gone to Abu Dhabi, she is enjoying it, especially the pay !

Will do thanks

Hi we are looking for a family boat to hold min 5 people, with an engine, we live on the central coast but don't want to pay millions of bucks please pm if you have one to sell thanks Victoria

What reasons are they giving

No and there are not as many supermarkets here like the uk

Hi, happy to help, we came 7 months ago and are living on the central coast in beautiful terrigal, nsw, let me know if your coming this way x

Hi do what makes you happy! We have been here 7 months and we love every day and couldn't imagine going back to England, I am not bigging us up,what I am trying to say is that it may not be for everyone, don't waste your life, do what will make you happy, what part of oz are you in, because I have been to a state and thought if I lived here I would want to go home, maybe the state is wrong for you, good luck x

Hi, we could not use the allowance when we emigrated because we activated our visa on a ten day holiday, (we were given 4 months to enter country once we got issued visa, not a practical time to sell house and pack up 3kids, 2 dogs and a cat lol) so when we bought our on way ticket we couldn't use it

Hi, can you not try out a long break in the uk, so you don't need to 1- break up properly..yet! 2-regret everything if you went back to the uk, maybe you just need to test it all first before you decide, but make the time long enough to get over the novelty of being back, then see how you feel.

I think I only miss take away Chinese , love everything else here !!

Hi, we shipped 2 dogs 7months ago, if they have favourite toys you are better off putting them in your case rather then in your furniture crate because of customs, also you can attach to their crate but you have the chance of losing it, nothing is allowed in the crate, we were surprised that once in quarantine here we sent a couple of new toys and they were given to us at the end of the 30 days, good luck if you have any questions about any of it I wold be happy to help, I also brought a cat too

Well that's good to hear! Time is dragging for us as we've been playing the waiting game for a while. We're still in Norfolk England for now - just east of Norwich. We plan to move June/July at the end of the school year.

The waiting game is horrible, our life was on hold for so long, but once you get here you will forget all about it, where are you looking at Living? I wouldn't worry too much about finishing the school year ( unless your child is in the final year of course) the school terms are all so different here and they go back a year too,

Hi, you will probably find the best thing to do living on central coast will be to travel in to sydney, for the better jobs, you can get the train in from gosford, we live in terrigal and its beautiful and a 20 min drive to gosford station, definatly stay with relatives when you get here because the places you think you would like to live when your in England really are different when you get here, I don't want to upset anyone and give names but just look properly, good luck

Oh dear , doesn't sound good, don't give up because its worth it here, our life style has changed so much, if need be take a smaller property, good luck

Hi Hogan. 5 months in - are you still lovin it? :yes:

 

By the way, your location shows Norfolk. Is that Norfolk England or Aus?

Hi, been here 7 months now and still absolutely love it !!! I better change my location we were living in Norfolk England, we moved to terrigal nsw, are you in England still?
