Great update, glad your enjoyin it so much, this is why I feel we won't need a recci & Oh agrees as I just know I will Love Oz! & deffo fall in love with Sydney, it's just making sure I get my head round everything else.. research research research lol, keep updates coming when you get the chance

Hummm wonder what you said Wendee before it was edited... well maybe oneday I'll find out if it is the best place to be... Ghostgirl that's one of many reasons why I want to go too... love animals. .. sounds amazing even interested in the ones that bite... like crocodile etc too, even thou prefer the soft & cuddly like parrots & wallabies etc

Yes ghostgirl think I need to do some extra research myself! I'll google statistics for insects etc over here & there, there's probably a lot more chance of getting run over here compared to oz for example! Lol, I've got my head screwed on right haha my Dad used to say when I was younger 'When your times up it's up!' So pretty open minded & can just laugh about some things but... getting your leg bitten off by a Shark I'm quite sure is no laughing matter... x

Really???? Haha Hello Wendee! Well yep I was thinking same, are you all insane living there lol,

Been watching Australia's most deadliest attacks on Sky tv, think most people know Australia's got the most deadliest snakes & spiders etc but it's brought home to you that there's loads of insects or animals you don't even think could kill you... like moisqetos (excuse my spelling) Tick's, tinniest of Jelly fish!! or big python in back garden (that got a little boy!) He was ok in end neighbours helped his mummy get it off him, these stories can't be just odd one off's...

Me & OH would be well pleased & proud if this was us in a few years time... we can only hope & yep go with an open mind x

Great post loads of info, sounds like everything working out brilliant for you's & friends so soon too, very good, hope everything carries on goin as good as it has been for you's, hope everything goes as good for us when the time come for us to emigrate to Oz

Congratulations how quick, good luck for the future in oz x

Totally agree with Melza, also sounds like you get quite good money back, over there from selling your things as well as helping out people over there wanting a bargain, good luck in your move back

Great post! So funny, & sounds like you've learnt eventually haha, all good fun & adventure mostly I'm sure, hope it all works out for you in end ...

Its been good reading other peoples stories as if we decide to emigrate my daughter would be about 18 too & she's made it clear from start that she wouldn't come, she said she'd stay with her Dad probably, even though i know they grow up it still tugs at the heart strings & makes me wonder if i could actually go without her.... Kids hey !! Can't live with em can't live without em!! .. Decisions decisions! x

It's just I think we all assume are children are not kids any more by time they reach 18!! As in England anyway your allowed to vote, buy alcohol & gamble & are usually at college/uni or out working learning how to stand on your own two feet, you'd think they'd be entitled to certain benefits or help like other adults... (I had my own mortgage when I was 18!!!)

Great thread! Loads of important & interesting information on here, loads for people to think about who are making the move, can I just ask Kerry Pollard - is your hubby still going eventually back to you's in uk? (Just asking because think its most people's deffo my worst fears & the child bit too of course)

This is a brilliant thread!!!!! Interesting & funny, loved it!

Hiya just wanted to say we (me & my OH) really enjoyed your wanted down under!! You had nothing to be embarrassed about cos it was really good, good luck to you all with the move anyway
