Hi - We moved over to Sydney in July from Coventry! We cannot make the 27th but we would love to be kept in the loop for any future meet ups. Thanks Claire and Matt

Hi Gemma1! I moved over to Sydney on the 13th with my company putting me up in an apartment for 2 weeks. I've found that most viewings are on a saturday and there can be a lot of people competing for the best places! I have only just managed to find somewhere (hopefully signing the contract tonight!) but there are lots of places available! Everyone I work with lives in and around Surry Hills which is where we would have liked to move to but it was over our budget as we wanted a 2 bed! You should be fine trying to find somewhere but I would recommend focussing on one area so you dont waste time travelling between viewings!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself! I'm Claire, moved to Sydney on 13th July, leaving behind Matt in Coventry while we wait for the 457 visa to come through :sad: I have come over on a 417 visa as the company I have moved to wanted me over here ASAP. Start work tomorrow after arriving early on Wednesday morning! Very nervous and hoping I'm over the jet lag! We're both trying to get everything sorted in Oz and the UK, I'm desperately trying to find some cat friendly rental properties along the northern line as I only have a week and a half left in the accommodation work have provided, Matt is busy packing all our belongings into boxes to ship over, get the house ready for renting and sorting out getting the cats sent over! :chatterbox: We have both found the forums really useful and still have lots of questions but also thought we may be able to help others with our experiences so far and in the future!:wubclub: Looking forward to speaking with you all! Claire (& Matt!)
