thanks for the info. We are absolutely keen to be 'eyes wide open'. We have agreed that as life is good here, there would be no point us migrating unless we were sure we were going to achieve what we wanted to achieve. That is basically, a better climate, longer evenings, reduced working hours (while not impacting on standard of living) and more family time and access to outdoor activity.
lies, lies, and statistics? Viewing a general trend though, it does seem to have faired better than most European countries. Though obvs, that is not tangible from here.
job wise, I am pretty certain I could get a job ok and pretty much in most metropols. DH prospects have changed though and it is the new restrictions on any Australian registration that may impact where we go and ultimately whether that gives us a location we would want to raise a family. We are not looking at WA this time. Adelaide and Melbourne (having lived in Melbourne before) are preferred but we are not sure he can work in a city and may have to go DWS. This would probably hold us back as we don't really want to be that isolated.
Thanks for the info. Anymore snippets always welcome.:yes:
Helps us navigate the confusion.......
