Also in Adelaide, 2 years, young kids at school, bought a house in the Hills, husband very very happy in his job (former NHS) and I'm struggling to know where to start looking for part time work......hmm few similarities here!

We love it for all the reasons Snifter has said, we get koalas in our garden and cockatoos flying past every evening, how cool is that?! Leaving the comfort zone of friends and familiarity wasn't easy, but was actually way easier for us than I was expecting. The town we live in (Blackwood) is friendly and has a community feel so reminds me of the good bits of the UK, plus local shops and people who want to retain that local vibe. It's been hard starting again to make friends and a support network but I wouldn't move back to the UK in the near future - maybe one day.

Sorry Andrew, I've just found this thread and I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm having a nightmare trying to find anyone who will look at re-mortgaging because we have an Australian address! I wish I'd known this before we came out but we only thought we'd stay for 2 years.....

Please could you pass on the brokers details?
