my husband is already working in Dalby, and by the time I get out there he would have been there for 7 months working, and we both have a 4 year visa. And with me selling my 3 year old car vw scirocco I will have a good deposit.

ok fair point, was i meant was housing benefit as we are in an housing association property

I know i recently ask this question before, but if you were to rent all the time what happens when you retire over in Australia, ie in the UK the rent is paid for you from the government, whats the situation there ???

When i have moved to Brisbane can you go into a garage and get a car on finance, with a good deposit, or do you have to be a resident ?

hi my husband is already working in Dalby and i shall moving out in about July time, and stopping with a friend until all our belongings arrive, which will be about october time, so if you are still interested we can meet. our children are all grown up so me and hubby moving.

thanks Melza

thanks Snifter you have been a great help, will keep in touch

the good thing is im going to see him on saturday for 10 days so i can make a start and have a look round

Is it best to buy a home or rent? :biggrin:

hi my husband has been sponsored to work near Brisbane, so he wants me to join him, and of cause i will, its just very scary knowing that i will have to make a life for us both as he will be working away from home for 21 days at a time.
