Hi All, Weve just arrived in Gold Coast as we family here, but now have to find somewhere to live that will be suitable for our two year olds as well as having local shops etc for us. Can anyone suggest places please? Although we have family here, they are elderly and don't have the same requirements. Anyone's help will be much appreciated. Also if anyone knows of local twin clubs, we need to get meeting people!

Hi, You receive a reply within 2 weeks, yes it is straight forward. The IELTS (english test) was the most frustrating. Have you looked into that yet? We have just submitted our life story to Department of Immigration through the Visa Bureau and awaiting their instructions before obtaining police checks etc. Its been a lengthy process, but worth getting it right before submitting everything.

Hi I took my welding assessment last December, nothing really to worry about .We were tested on MIG vertical ,MMA vertical up and TIG vert up. We were given plenty of time and practice runs to get used to the equipment, which was all in good order. It was all quite relaxed so nothing to worry about.Hope this puts his mind at rest a little. Everything he needs is there apart from overalls and welding screen. Good luck

Thanks for all your comments so far, very useful stuff.

Hi All, We are currently working through our checklist of getting things ready and we are sure we will miss or forget something obvious. If there was one thing you'd wished you had known or done before you left for Oz, what would that be? No matter how insignificant you think, please share. :biggrin:
